Jaguar-tiger hole
Why is there a gap where Jaguar♂ and Tiger♀ cross? Because for some obscure reason nobody's thought of a name? Let's think of one now! How about "jagger"? -- Smjg 10:49, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. Probably a result of some incompatability; although that didn't stop some hybrids from being on the list. --Apostrophe 19:04, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

Jaguars and tigers have not been hybridised. This page refers for reported hybrids, not hypothetical hybrids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.133.0.8 (talk) 15:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Whether the hybrid exists, it's an ugly hole in the structure of the page and one that should be addressed. I see someone's addressed it now.  But to say
 * "There are no known successful attempts in the mating of these species"
 * still begs the question: known by whom? -- Smjg (talk) 01:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Known in the published scientific literature? --Cubbi (talk) 14:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Parental species
One of the reasons why they only exist in captivity because the territories of the parental species do not overlap in the wild. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:4700:2D30:B947:2905:66BA:FFC1 (talk) 00:41, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Dogula
In the body of this section, it is spelt Dogla. Which is correct?
 * Dogla. I apologize for the misspelling. --Apostrophe 18:09, 31 August 2005 (UTC)`

Dogla
In Suriname the word "dogla" refers (originally) to a person with Indian and Creole parents, Afro-Indian basically. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.250.166.160 (talk) 23:02, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Panthers?
How about regular panthers? Do they go in to any of this? Valley2city 06:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * A panther is not an actualy animal. It is one of the classification groups in taxonomy, specifically a genus. The genus is called Panthera, and in it includes the 4 big cats: Lions, Tigers, Leopards, and Jaguars. More specifically, a lot jaguars and leopards are incorrectly refered to as panthers. There is, though, a melanistic(a deformaty in fur color, like albino) that makes the leopards all black, and these are called Black Panthers.
 * In other words, the term panther is often missused. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.137.33 (talk) 00:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Neologisms
Don't make up names, especially for hypothetical creatures. If these hybrids really are referred to using these portmanteau names, cite a source. A few are real, but I suspect most are probably made up. --Alivemajor 21:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah quit using these childish names made up by the popular media in an attempt to be funny about one of their 'peculiar' newsitems.--194.81.255.254 08:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Tigons are not smaller?
Quote: "Unlike popular belief, Tigons are not smaller because of combining genetics." – I think this sentence contains two statements: 1. Tigons are not smaller; 2. The cause is genetics. – Now which statement is "unlike popular belief"? Are they not smaller? Or are they smaller indeed, but just not due to genetics? --Suaheli (talk) 06:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Fertility
Are any of the hybrids mentioned fertile? It's my understanding that Tigons and Ligers are sterile like Mules and Hinnies. If sterile, they wouldn't constitute a new species and would be curiosities but evolutionary deadends. Virgil H. Soule (talk) 00:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The newest source states that female hybrids are not sterile http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19633192 Matt Zero (talk) 11:15, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Lipard incorrect information
I have actually spoken to Dr. Gerhard Heindl, Historical Research & Documentation, at Schoenbrunn Zoo and he has told me that the zoo never had a Lipard, at least not after 1945. He stated the following:

"I had a look at the in principle very interesting page and there found a citation of Otto Antonius from 1951. As we are occupied with a book about Antonius at the moment, this was a kind of quest for me.

Two things are to tell in this case: Antonius already died in 1945, so his article was published posthumous. That’s a first reason why the mentioned animal could not have lived in 1951. A second one that in my opinion locates the mentioned not in Schoenbrunn Zoo is what Antonius wrote: “Mischlinge von einander ferne stehenden Arten, wie Löwe x Leopard, Löwe x Puma, wurden erzielt, aber nicht von mir beobachtet …”, that means: “Hybrids from species which are relatively afar like leopard x lion or lion x puma were achieved, but have not been seen by me”.

So should a hybrid lion/leopard ever have existed in Schoenbrunn Zoo it must have been up to 1945, and Antonius must have had known of it – he therefore would have named Schoenbrunn Zoo. Moreover Antonius refers in this article about hybrids in general not only such of Schoenbrunn Zoo. He also mentions animals he had seen in other zoos. According to the fact that we also don’t have records, traditions or articles about such an animal I think Antonius has been misinterpreted by the authors of........He read or heard somewhere about a hybrid lion/leopard and told about it in his article without referring to his source."

Big cat/Domestic cat
Is there any evidence/research into the possibility of a Big cat/domestic cat hybrid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hypershock (talk • contribs) 00:22, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Scrabble
Does anyone know if these hybrid names of are official words and therefore allowed in scrabble? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.101.42 (talk) 12:52, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course these hybrids are official words. Gug01 (talk) 20:30, 15 January 2015 (UTC) Gug 01

Proposing merge from Lion-tiger hybrids to Panthera hybrid

 * Merge - This was brought up at Articles for deletion/Lion-tiger hybrids. Though both Lion-tiger hybrids and Panthera hybrid are of decent length, there are reference problems that could be relieved by merging. I don't think lion-tiger hybrids are notable enough on their own that we need a separate article, and most readers would benefit from having all the information on one page.  --Nessie (talk) 15:10, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Let the discussion occur at the AfD page to avoid splitting the conversation. I will remove the merge tags for now, but if the AfD closes as keep feel free to start another merger proposal.

Can't find any evidence that anyone uses the 2nd, 3rd, 4th hybrid names
All sources associated with the 2-4th hybrids seem suspicious or link back to wikipedia. The original source also seems to be a kid editing this page like 5 years ago. I'm going to delete it for now, but if anyone wants to challenge, we can add it back. Thanks --Majora&#39;sMacro (talk) 01:16, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Taliger
'Taliger' redirects here, but is not mentioned anywhere on the page. What is a Taliger? Walkersam (talk) 00:44, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
 * A cross between a male tiger and a liger (female lion-tiger hybrid). There are also s Liligers, TiLigers, WaLiligers. But see here. Seems to be a one man operation that can be considered animal abuse. I don't think there is much value in adding these made up names for a few crosses of no notability. Perhaps delete the redirect as promotional. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 07:55, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

I love the table
