"Tions-and-ligers-and-geeps-oh-my..."
"hybridization sometimes happens naturally -- when, for instance, amorous horses and donkeys produce mules and hinnies, or Labrador retrievers run off with poodles and give us labradoodles.

Butincreasing numbers of this mix-and-match menagerie, such as the geep, which is part goat, part sheep, are artificially made. To make a geep, pinprick-size embryos of each species are fused in a laboratory dish. The new embryo is then transferred to a surrogate-mother goat, and months later a geep is born.

Injecting quail neurons into the brains of chicken embryos will make a "quicken" (marginally smarter, perhaps, than the barnyard fowl, though why anyone wants a more intelligent chicken is an unresolved question). If biologists mix the sperm and eggs of related species, exotic hybrids can result, including tions and ligers (mixes of tigers and lions).

Geeps, quickens, and even some humans are referred to as chimeras, animals with cells that come from two or more distinct genetic sources. The chimera of Greek fable was a fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. By contrast, cellular chimeras are much tamer"

Most of all cross breeding is gee whiz stuff. The mule helped sustain agriculture and transportation for centuries.

I am glad cats and dogs are not interested...
Though I have a "catbox" - purring boxer.
