Most People Don’t Know About These Animal Hybrids

Pumapard

The breeding of a puma and a leopard produces an offspring called a pumapard. The pumapard tends not to grow to more than half the size of either of its parents and in fact, exhibits dwarfism- the exact opposite of the other cat hybrid on this list- the liger.

The pumapard came into existence in the late 19th century when they were first bred in Chicago. It did not take much time for them to become a status symbol among the wealthy throughout the world. Their bodies are long like those of pumas and they have spots (called rosettes) which they acquire from leopards (though these spots are much faded compared to their parent).
