Savannah Cat – Domestica Cat/Serval
When a domestic cat is crossed with its distant relative, the Serval, the result is what is called a Savannah Cat. It is an interesting hybrid. The domestic cat genes seem to make for a more docile Serval. They are less prone to aggression, but would still be classified as feral when encountered in the wild. They are loosely recognized as a breed of a domestic cat and can be kept as house pets. Likewise, they are less inclined to affection and bonding with humans, and present a serious risk to your couch!

Wholphin – Orca/Dolphin
The image below shows Kawali Kai. She is the offspring of the world’s only known Wholphin. The Wholphin is said to be a cross-breeding of a female Orca and a male dolphin. This is not a pairing that will occur naturally. The name suggests that the Wholphin is a whale/dolphin pairing. This is misleading as the Orcha is itself a member of the dolphin family, despite the nickname ‘killer whale.’ While the one existing Wholphin is a fascinating specimen, it is not likely that we will see many examples of this hybrid in the future.
