Wolfdog – Wolf/Dog

The Wolfdog is not quite the same as the rest of the animals on this list. The dog and the wolf are not entirely separate species. The relatively short period since the dog branched off from the wolf family tree means that one can think of the two as separate breeds rather than unique species. Common wolf dogs from the Spitzer lineage are dog breeds on their own, while some introduction of modern wolf genes results in fascinating hybrid dog breeds.

There are quite a number of cat-family hybrids. Cats are not as genetically separated as, say, primates. This means that many if not all breeds of cats could theoretically be interbred. There are only real constraints on the male genes and the size of the resultant offspring. The Jaglion is as the name suggests. A chance pairing in the Bear Creek Sanctuary resulted in the birth of two cubs, Jazhara and Tsunami. A tsunami looks more like a leopard than either parent breed. A curious breeding convergence.
