Most of us know that horses and donkeys are able to have children together?

Question

but what are some other examples of different species mixing in this way?

Answer 1

Well, tigers and lions, depending on the dad the children are either ligers or tigons. Also hamsters can cross with mice, so I remember from my childhood! Zebras and donkeys as well, the Zedonk! Most creatures will crossbreed if they are from the same type, felines with felines, canine with canine, rodent with rodent, equine with equine, obviously there are barriers, you could get eaten or you may be too small/big etc.

Answer 2

Well, lions and tigers can mate, which (ofcourse) produces "ligers", and no, this isn't some joke from Napoleon Dynamite, "ligers" are actually real!
