      If an animal is born from parents that are 2 separate species then it is called a hybrid. Examples are: a mule which is a cross between a horse and a donkey, a tigon is from a female lion and male tiger and a yattle is a cross between a cow and a yak.

      the trouble with this is that youre mixing genes so when a new animal is made like a liger it is infertile so it wouldnt be able to reproduce. 🙁
