From the Zebroid (Zebra + Equine) to a Beefalo (Buffalo + Cow), some of the most intriguing hybrid animals.

从斑马马到皮弗洛牛,下面是一些最神奇的混血动物。

1.Zebroid = Zebra + Equine

1.斑马马=斑马+马

hybrid

A zebroid (also zebra mule and zebrule) is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine: essentially, a zebra hybrid. In most cases, the sire is a zebra stallion. Offspring of a donkey sire and zebra mare, called a zebra hinny, do exist but are rare. Zebroids have been bred since the 19th century.The zebroid showed in the picture above, Eclyse, is a very unusual one, because of her coloring. With her über distinct makings, it's really hard not think she's a Photoshop mock-up.

斑马马(也叫斑马骡)是斑马和马杂交的后代:基本上就是斑马混血儿。在大多数情况下,斑马是父亲。驴爸爸和斑马妈妈的孩子叫斑马驴骡,确实存在,但很少见。斑马马从19世纪就开始繁殖。上图所示的斑马马爱克莉丝非常不寻常,因为她的毛色,很难让人不觉得她是一个Photoshop模版。

2.Liger = Lion + Tiger

2.狮虎=狮+虎

hybrid

The liger is a hybrid cross between a male Panthera leo (lion), and a female Panthera tigris (Tiger) and is denoted scientifically as Panthera tigris * Panthera leo. A liger resembles a giant lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest pure sub-species. Like tigers, but unlike lions, ligers enjoy swimming. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon.

狮虎是雄狮和雌虎的混血儿,学术的说法是Panthera tigris(虎)*Panthera leo(狮)。狮虎很像带条纹的巨大狮子,是世界上最大的猫科动物,不过西伯利亚虎是最大的纯亚种。狮虎随老虎而不是狮子,喜欢游泳。还有一种类似的混血儿虎狮,是雄虎和雌狮的后代。

3.Beefalo = Buffalo + Cow

3.皮弗洛牛=水牛+奶牛

hybrid

What do you get when you cross a cow with a buffalo? The Beefalo, a hybrid animal that produces red meat lower in fat and cholesterol than beef. Most consumers have never heard of beefalo, let alone tasted it, and only a few Seattle grocery stores carry it.

水牛和奶牛会生下什么?皮弗洛牛是一种混血动物,能提供脂肪和胆固醇比牛肉低的红肉。大多数消费者从没听过皮弗洛牛肉,更不用说品尝了,只有几家西雅图杂货店能买到。
How does a buffalo burger compare to a beef one? "It has a richer flavor and it's milder and sweeter than beef," says Ellensburg beefalo breeder Mark Merril, "and more juicy."
皮弗洛牛汉堡与牛肉汉堡相比怎么样?“它味道更丰富,比牛肉更温更甜,”美国华盛顿州埃伦斯堡的牛肉饲养员Mark Merril说,“而且更多汁。”

4.Savannah = Serval + Domestic Cat

4.热带草原猫=山猫+家猫

hybrid

The Savannah Cat is created by breeding an African Wild Cat, called a Serval and a domestic cat, usually an exotic looking domestic cat such as a Bengal, Oriental Shorthair, Egyptian Mau, or a Serengeti's. The offspring created by this combination are large domestic.

热带草原猫是非洲山猫和家猫的混血儿,家猫通常有点异国情调,比如孟加拉猫、东方短毛猫、埃及猫或塞伦盖蒂猫。 这种组合产生的后代是大型家猫。

5.Leopon = Leopard + Lion

5.豹狮=豹+狮

hybrid

The Leopon is the result of breeding a male leopard with a female lion. The head of the animal is similar to that of a lion while the rest of the body carries similarities to leopards. The first documented leopon was bred at Kolhapur, India in 1910.

豹狮是雄豹与雌狮繁殖的结果。这种动物的头随狮子,身体的其余部分随豹子。第一头有证可考的豹狮于1910年出生在印度戈尔哈布尔。
