Talk:Felid hybrids

Possible source for image of caracal-serval hybrid

A sanctuary called Big Cat Rescue has one of these hybrids (probably the caraval) and have released photos of it online. Would it be possible for someone to try to get permission to use one of these photos? I could do it if you would like. FelineLover (talk) 02:33, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

I removed this odd edit from the article; this sort of info is appropriate for talk pages, not the article itself. Rockdozen 20:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Tigard

This link went to a place called Tigard. Is this a humorous analogy with Tiger- Leopard cross or was it a mistake? I have been bold and removed it.

Sand Cat?

Can the Domestic Cat hybridize with the sand cat? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.39.30 (talk) 02:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

That would seem to be an obvious choice since the Sand cat is very similar in size to domestics. I'll look into it. Kpstewart (talk) 19:26, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

It seems like should be biologically possible. They're both of the Felis genus and the sand cat is physically about the same size as a slightly below average domestic cat. But the odds of a sand cat even encountering a domestic cat seem fairly low. 75.76.213.106 (talk) 06:45, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Contents don't match description

In the first paragraph, the contents of the article are listed as containing info about hybrids "between smaller felids and Panthera species", but I don't see any of those mentioned. Plus, I thought they weren't even possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.4.215.39 (talk) 12:14, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Feline/pantherine hybrids

I've just edited/removed part of the following statement from the article: "There are no known hybrids between the two subfamilies of Felidae, the Felinae and Pantherinae, nor between the latter's Neofelis (clouded leopard) and Panthera genera."

If pumapards are legitimate hybrids then a pumapard is a known hybrid between the two subfamilies, because the mountain lion (Puma concolor) is a member of the small cat subfamily (Felinae). Maybe the text was intended to convey that there was no confirmed case of hybridization, if there is some controversy over the legitimacy of reported pumapards or something... but that isn't what was said, and saying flat out that none are known is contradictory to the other page (and sort of contradictory to this one, since it includes a link to the pumapard page further down). 209.136.39.130 (talk) 18:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Felid hybrid → Feline hybrid – This article is about the Felinae hybrids, colloqually "feline". The term "felid" refers to the Felidae family, but Panthera genus (subfamily Pantherinae) is already treated in its own category. This also apply to the Felid hybrids category, where I propose to a) recategorize all the Felinae-related articles into Category:Feline hybrids (or Category:Felinae hybrids) and keep Category:Felid hybrids to contain both Felinae and Pantherinae categries, or b) recategorize Panthera-related articles into Category:Felid hybrids.

• Support. The lead mentions felid hybrids, but then goes on to say that this article is about feline hybrids. So there's no reason for the title to be "felid". Plantdrew (talk) 16:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
• Comment. The article also includes hybids between the puma (feline) and the leopard or jaguar (pantherine). So it seems that felid is appropriate for the general topic. Pantherine hybrids are separated out to its own topic because it is a large section rather than a sister article. —  Jts1882 | talk  16:40, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

It's also a topic that should have a plural title. It is not an article on a felid hybrid, but an article on a collection of different hybrids. —  Jts1882 | talk  16:42, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

I'd support a move to felid hybrids but not to feline hybrid(s). It doesn't deal exclusively with felines and thus "Feline hybrid" is inaccurate. SilverTiger12 (talk) 02:22, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose per Jts1882 - this covers more than just hybrids at the subfamily level. I also agree that this should be a plural topic given the current title's wording. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:37, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
