Pinch Paxton Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 The opposite halves of the gene pool. With Tigers, and Lions you get Ligers, and Tions. Tions have a mane! Or is it Tigons? Tygons and Ligers ...found that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 And then a Tyranodile and a Crocosaurus mate to produce a Crocodile (or close ancestor of, anyway)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Paxton Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Yeah, I think it actually takes about 11 generations to get 100%, or 3 generations to get 90% crocodile. Zebras can also mate with donkeys, and you get a Zonkey. It's another natural mating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooeypoo Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Zonkeys!? okay. Many replies were added since i was here the last time and I have lots to say but I need to read them all properly first... I just... wanted to make sure I read "Zonkeys" right. O.O I'd love to get information of cross breeding in NATURE, pinch. I didn't know those things existed in nature.. but I believe you. Can you give me any info? a website? anything? ~moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonara Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 They do, it's just that they're the result of 1-in-a-trillion type mating events. Maybe if every tiger mated only with lions, and so on, you'd end up with a small population of survivable ligers and tigons, but few of those would be capable of reproducing. It's also assuming that no lion-lion or tiger-tiger matings occur any more, which is one hell of an assumption. Here's a captive liger: http://www.sierrasafarizoo.com/animals/liger.htm You'll notice the info about non-sterile mules - search on this site for a story about one mating successfully.
