Pretty neat article, though you do have to filter out the enviro-cult angle a bit (the author writes for something called "Mother Nature Network").

BTW, I've had beefalo before, when I was a kid. I remember it being tasty. Then again, I love bison meat too.

BTW2, just to give you an idea at just how big a Liger can get:

I snapped this in Wyoming. I think they call it a Jackalope

It was neat, but in a strange way kind of sad (maybe it was just the zonkey or perhaps, my attitude towards the gene pool messing around) but the article says lots of the mixes happen in nature, like the grizzly and the polar bear mix. They didn't include a coydog-which is a coyote-dog mix.

I also noted on the yahoo page that you could click on ten monogamous animals and loved it! The gibbons photo was so tender it just got to me, and it was so cool to learn that the American Bald Eagle is monogamous as well! Too cool. I did not know that swans were monogamous but do know that Canadian geese are (but were not mentioned in the given ten).

The worst hybrid I’ve ever known is a heartless,
cruel Kenyan/whore offspring.

A liger, did you say?

It's Napoleon Dynamite's favorite animal.

We raised 2 beefalo steers when I was a kid. Best beef I ever ate.

Used to own a beefalo. Good looking cow, and looked just like the other domestic cows till you stood them side by side. The beefalo stood at least 25% taller. She also had the curly buffalo type hair on her neck, and her gestation ran a good month longer than the domestic cows.

Hybrid animals are interesting. Even got to ride my mule today.

BTW, I think it is still illegal in Ga. to misrepresent a hinney as a mule during a sale.

Some guy in Alaska shot what he thought was a polar bear but officials said no. DNA’d to NOT be a polar bear. Suspicion was that it was a Polar-Grizzley but he was in a lot of trouble.

I think they got their pics mixed up. That doesn’t look like a Beefalo, it looks more like a Limousin Bull which is just another continental breed of cattle.

There was a thread about pure bred rabbits that mated with different pure bred rabbits during a roof cave in. I would like to see the results of those matings.
