Hybrid Animal Investigation

Luca's Hybrid

Chausie(Felis catus × Felis Chaus)

 

The Chausie is a Hybrid breed between a Domestic Shorthair and the Jungle Cat. The Chausie has no reproductive barriers and is a fully functioning Hybrid. Male Chausies are not usually fertile until after four or five generations away from Jungle Cat breeding. Since the Jungle Cat is the primary donor for a Chausie's genetic material the hybrid will become infertile without strong ancestry.

Jungle Cat (Felis Chaus)

 

The jungle cat, also called reed cat or the swamp cat, is a medium-sized cat found in China, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, and central and southeastern Asia.

All cats of mixed ancestry adopt the species name 'Felis Catus'. Domestic cats are found al over the world as pets and feral animals.

Domestic shorthaired cat(Felis catus)

Ashli's Hybrid

Savannah Cat (Felis catus × Leptailurus serval)

 

A Savannah cat is a cross between a domestic cat and the serval, a medium-sized, large-eared wild African cat. The breeding process between the domestic and the serval is tedious and often unsuccessful due to the different breeding natures and sizes of the cats. Males tend to be sterile up until the 5th gen. where the male becomes genetically viable and stable. Since most males are sterile between generation 1-4 they are sold as pets where as the females are withheld for breeding. In gen 5+ females are sold and males are then withheld for breeding. 

Serval (Leptailurus serval)

The serval is a medium-sized African wild cat native to sub-Saharan Africa. The serval is named one of the best if not the best rodent hunter of all the cats wild and domestic. The Serval is the sole member of its genus and is placed under the family Felidae.

Domestic shorthaired cat(Felis catus)

 

All cats of mixed ancestry adopt the species name 'Felis Catus'. Domestic cats are found al over the world as pets and feral animals.
