Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. You have just arrived with the guide, Mark. He tells you that the first animal on the list is the tigon. What animal are you about to see?

Answer: The offspring of a male tiger and a female lion

A tigon is the child of a male tiger and a female lion. The vice-versa of a liger, though they are smaller and less common than ligers. They blend the features of both parents to give them a majestic look. They have been cross-bred artificially since the habitats of lions and tigers don't overlap. Records show that the first tigons were produced in a touring circus, that had a tiger and a lioness, sometime in the 19th century. Tigons are infertile.

Answer: Pizzly bear

The existence of these creatures was confirmed in 2006 when the DNA of a strange looking bear was tested. It is also called the grolar bear, grizzlar bear or nanulak. Just like in the case of the tigon, these hybrids are mostly artificially cross-bred, although some naturally occur.

Answer: They are very rare and are infertile

These very rare hybrids are the offspring of a male false killer whale (which is a type of dolphin) and a female bottlenose dolphin. The first one was born in 1981 in a certain Seaworld in Tokyo, Japan, but lived for only 200 days. These animals are infertile just as in the case of many other hybrids.

4. Next in line is an animal Mark describes as a leopon. Written on a board hanging overhead is the scientific names of its parents. What is written on the board?

Answer: Panthera pardus and panthera leo

Panthera pardus is the scientific name for a leopard while panthera leo is that of a lion. The head of a leopon looks like that of a lion while the rest of the body looks like that of a leopard. There is not yet evidence relating to whether they can be found in the wild (because you do not find a lion and a leopard in the same pride). And yes, they are infertile.

Answer: They are fertile

They are also known as cattalo and have been in existence since the 19th century. They are quite fleshy and are also very fertile. This is due to the genetic similarities between buffalo and cows. More are being bred because of their fleshiness and fertility.

6. You see a sign which says 'Cama Care Unit'. One peep around the corner confirms what you were thinking. They are the offspring of which cross-bred animals?

Answer: Camels and llama

The cama is the cross-breed of the camel and llama. It does not look too different from what you think a camel and llama's offspring would look like. Camas can not naturally be born in the wild (camel and llama natural habitats are not in close proximity), artificial insemination is used.

Answer: Geep

Naturally born geep are rare because sheep and goats seldom produce offspring. They are smaller than goats and are about the same size as sheep. Not too cute either.

8. Now you find an animal which Mark describes as a zebroid. This does not surprise you judging from the looks of this animal. He was referring to the offspring of a zebra and which of these?

Answer: Any equine

The zebroids tend to be much more wild than domestic horses. This makes them difficult to tame. Charles Darwin was among the first people to mention the zebroid. They rarely occur naturally and are normally infertile. Zebra characteristics are more prominent in this case.

9. Immediately after seeing the zebroid, something catches your attention; the jaguon. What is it that interests you?

Answer: The offspring of a male jaguar and a female lion

The first jaguon, or jaglion, was unintentionally born in the Bear Creek Wildlife Sanctuary in Barrie, Ontario, when a male jaguar and female lion that were raised together reproduced. If you got this correct, it means my dragon trick didn't work (just kidding, I knew that wouldn't fool anyone).

10. You tell Mark about your ranch and he decides to give you a dzo as a goodbye gift. Which country, where they are known as khainag, is known to domesticate a good number of these hybrids?

Answer: Mongolia

A dzo is the hybrid of yaks and domestic cattle. The dzo is actually the male while dzomo is the female. They are kept as farm animals in Mongolia and Tibet primarily for milk and meat. The locals believe that they produce more meat and milk than yaks or cattle.
