Besides monkey-pig hybrids, what other real hybrids have scientists created?

In fact, for the current hybrid technology, if animals are different kinds of animals, even if they can produce offspring, they are infertile, which is what we usually call biological reproductive isolation. In our current hybridization experiments, most of the successful ones are the same animal. Such as tigers, leopards and zebras! Let's talk about these animals.

First of all, many people have heard of the animal tigon. In fact, tigon is a hybrid of male lion and female tiger. Because both lions and tigers belong to big cats, it can be said that the adult tiger checkers can reach three meters to three meters six, which can be said to be the largest among cats today. Of course, besides tigon, there is another saying that there are tigers, lions and beasts! Different from tigon, the tiger lion beast is a hybrid with tiger as the male parent and lion as the female parent.

Leopard lions are animals that cannot appear in nature. So most of the leopards and lions we see now are kept in captivity. And more or less there are some human factors. The first country where leopards and lions appeared was India. Leopard lion is an animal with great characteristics. Its body is very similar to the leopard we usually see, but its face and neck have the characteristics of a lion. The leopard lion we usually see is the result of hybridization between the lion as the female parent and the leopard as the male parent. Leopard lions have many leopard habits, such as climbing.

In fact, the most common cross between animals in our life is the German shepherd dog that we usually keep at home. German shepherd is a hybrid of wild wolf and domestic dog. German shepherd dogs are usually fierce. Compared with our usual small dogs, German shepherds are stronger, and there are many kinds of German shepherds. Generally speaking, German shepherds will be used for herding sheep and hunting. In rural areas, people also use it to do housework.
