The document discusses several hybrid animal species: - A Savannah cat is a hybrid between a domestic cat and an African serval cat. It became a recognized breed in 2001. - A Beefalo is a fertile hybrid of cattle and American bison, created for beef production by combining traits of both animals. - A gayal is a large semi-domesticated bovine found in parts of India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and China. It is also known as a mithun. - A hinny is a hybrid offspring of a horse stallion and a donkey jenny.

2. SAVANNAH CAT
A Savannah cat is a cross
between a domestic cat and
the serval, a medium-sized,
large-eared wild African
cat. The unusual cross
became popular among
breeders at the end of the
1990s, and in 2001 the
International Cat
Association accepted it as a
new registered breed.

3. Beefalo
Beefalo are a fertile hybrid offspring
of domestic cattle, generally a male in
managed breeding programs
currently, Bos taurus, and the American
bison, usually a female in managed
breeding programs currently, Bison bison
(generally called buffalo in the US). The
breed was created to combine the
characteristics of both animals for beef
production.

4. The gayal The gayal (Bos frontalis), also known as
mithun,
is a large semi-domesticated bovine
distributed
in north-eastern India, Bangladesh, northern
Myanmar and in the Yunnan Province of
China.[1]In the Adi language, gayal are called
eso; they are called subu by the Apatani and
Nyishi tribes, or often referred to as
"mithun".

5. Hinny A hinny is a domestic equine
hybrid that is the offspring of
a horse stallion and a jenny
donkey. It is the reciprocal
cross to the more common
mule, which is the product of
a jack donkey and a horse
mare.

6.  The liger is a hybrid cross between a male
lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger
(Panthera tigris). Thus, it has parents with
the same genus but of different species. It is
distinct from the similar hybrid tigon. It is
the largest of all known extant felines.[1][2]
 Ligers enjoy swimming, which is a
characteristic of tigers, and are very sociable
like lions. Ligers exist only in captivity
because the habitats of the parental species
do not overlap in the wild. Historically, when
the Asiatic Lion was prolific, the territories
of lions and tigers did overlap and there are
legends of ligers existing in the wild. Notably,
ligers typically grow larger than either parent
species, unlike tigons which tend to be about
as large as a female tiger and is the cross
between a male tiger and a lioness.
