Anyone here have an exotic cat?

[roccoginge]

You see that's what pisses me off. Bobcats, Lynxes, those are wild animals, that's like having a baby Edward Scissorhands running around, someday something will happened. I saw this one show where a family had a Serval---they had him declawed, because the animal was too aggressive and was clawing up people and objects...so, instead of saying, "hmmm, maybe this serval is not right for this house, lets give it to a zoo or shelter."
 But, no, they had to have a Serval, so they declaw it, so now, it cannot be sent to a wildlife reserve, because it can't hunt. Totally selfish.

Reminds of the kid who had a Reticulated Python and it got too big, i saw it, he had to give away to a zoo, the damn thing was 18 feet long and well over 200 pounds..

I had one of those, used to feed it raw chicken breast, the thing would flip out like it was posessed.

I had a pet coyote for awhile.

Worked out just fine, and that was a 'wild animal'.

the diff between Coyote and Wolf are like VW Bug and Porsche 911 Turbo---both rear engined, both have boxer engines, and that is where the similarities end...

Did you guys know the "ligers" actually exist? It was Napoleon Dynamite's favorite animal, I know, but it is real.

I saw it on the news yesterday. A lion and tiger can mate and have offspring, but the offspring they have can never reproduce themselves.

I'm being serious.

Pretty sure all cats are anorexic.  Hairball city.

[garebear]

like a mule?

I reckon.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Like a tiger or puma?

Seems fairly common in the EU, not so much here in the US...

Could you please make your thread title more descriptive, and change it to say "Anyone here gay?"

THANKS!

Yeah, a lot of owners now are trying "exotic" mixes like, Cougar and Leopard, which producces odd looking offspring, because Cougars have long bodies and Leopards have short legs. Then there is Leopard and Lion, if it is a female lion, the female has to apparently lay on her side, because the male Leopard is too small. If a male is produced, they have a Lion's mane, but leopard spots, they are generally sterile.

Many of these animals would never mate in the wild, like the Lion and Tiger, both of the Panthera, and especially the Lion and Leopard, and definitely the Cougar and Leopard, because one is a New World apex predator and the other is Old World.

Can you inseminate a female lion or tiger or cougar (or some big wild female cat) with male house cat sperm?  Or does that not work?

No, they are of the cat family but totallly different, gnetics and DNA That's like inseminating a Chimp with human sperm, or a human with Chimp sperm, there will be no result...

How do you explain THIS!

That proves nothing about the subject.  It does prove that a wildebeest can breed with a dog turd though.

[Hereford]
