Any of those combinations only happens in captivity since most of the animals avoid or even try to kill off any others as they are competition for food. I don't think lion / cheetah hybrids are possible.

So much stuff you'd have to put into an analysis, but hey, interesting topic. I like asiatic lions! *tacklehugz and gets mauled*

"Leotahs" aren't possible, at least, not to my knowledge; lions and cheetahs are too far removed, to say nothing of physical and behavioral differences between them, or the fact that the lioness (as it'd have to be a male cheetah and a lioness, despite what the male-female naming convention of felid hybrids would otherwise suggest) would have to be artificially inseminated anyway, for fear of her killing the cheetah. To be honest, I don't think the cheetah is capable of hybridizing with any species. If I had to pick a candidate for a cheetah cross, though, I'd place my bets on the cougar, as genetic analysis puts the two species at least in the same phylogenetic lineage.
But, anyway, red foxes (Vulpes) and dogs (Canis) can't interbreed. Canids they may both be, but they're not closely related enough for the genetics to work. In the same way, last I heard, dogs can't interbreed with African wild dogs (Lycaon), gray foxes (Urocyon), arctic foxes (Alopex), raccoon dogs Nyctereutes, bush dogs Speothos, maned wolves (Chrysocyon), or dholes (Cuon). Nor can these species interbreed with one another. Like I said, general rule of thumb is if they're in the same genus, there's the potential that they can interbreed, but if they're not, then odds are they can't.*
Also, historically speaking, there aren't tigers in Africa, nor had there ever been. However, they have been introduced there, or don't you watch Animal Planet specials about conservation plans that risk seriously messing up an entire ecosystem for the sake of one charismatic foreign species?
*The only place where I've seen this "rule" bent -- if not outright broken -- is in the Felidae, which I put down more to the uncertainty of taxonomic classification within that family than the ability of cats to defy the restrictions of genetics.

whoops, I thought you meant Tigers live in africasorry bout that...

Snowy didn't say anything about Dingoes though
All of these inbreeds are found in our guild, though we're not always one-hundred percent SURE they can be done, right Simba? I'm completely positive about Ligers and Tigons, that's a duh thingOriginally posted by SimbaTheLion
I've seen that site before, not nice with the pictures of fur and dead cats...
Foxes are vulpines, and they tend to be enemies with most dogs; because of the people who think it is acceptable to hunt the poor things
...
Lions can breed with leopards to produce leopons, I know that for a fact =) .
Also apparently lions can be bred with cheetahs to produce leotahs, although this probably isn't true.and Leopons I'm about eighty percent sure...Liotah's? Hmmm...
I'll do some research later.
Psh, :Ooo: just because we RolePlay with Liotahs or Cheetons doesn' mean we believe they're real. Or at least, I'm pretty sure that they aren't real. =) Ahh don't mind me, I'm only fourteen.Originally posted by SimbaTheLion

I'm sure about leopons =) . I think that a male cheetah with a female lion might work if she allowed it, but the other way round just wouldn't work because... well... the male lion might be a little too big for the female cheetah if you catch my drift

So we know tigers and lions can interbreed, but can lions and panthers?
hmmmmmm this is freaky mating .. so you telling me i can make a Lioness with a Lion then a tiger and then a panther and then a leopord and then a jaguar......... then what would that be call

twill answer all your questions
My mom believes that our cat Firefly might be related to a serval, because of her long ears. I'll scan a photo of her sometime.

Further back ontopic, leopons have been said to be in the wild. Strange, but true. Cheetahs and lions most definately can't breed. Like Snowy said, they're too different. Being so small, they're more like the smaller wild cats.
yeah it is kinda freakyOriginally posted by Whitewolf

but it is very possible. whether or not a lion will sucessfully mate with a panther is another question.
but through genetic modification etc, it is very possible for science to actually do it....kinda like Jurassic Park style stuff
we learnt about this stuff in one of my University subjects.
they can conbine genetic material from any animal into another....
they already do it with plants for agriculture etc...
ever heard of GM Foods? (Genetically Modified Foods)
so technically they can make a cat blue, that smells like lemons or something
of course they dont do it, but they can.
I heard of GM Foods. I learned about them in my Agriculture class. We learned about hybrids, too.Originally posted by Simba_TLK

I heard of the grapple, an apple that tastes like a grape. Sounds yummy. GM foods are also even seedless fruits, like some kinds of grapes and such.
There are already "blue" cats existing. Russian blues, to be exact.
yea that be funny if they can make a lion that can talk human.....
It doesn't matter if the lioness allowed it. The zookeepers sedate the lioness, I saw a picture of it on that hybrid site.Originally posted by SimbaTheLion
