The recent publicity around the gorilla genome highlighted to me that eastern and western gorilla lineages seem to have diverged ~1 million years ago. In the process of trying to figure out hybridity I stumbled upon this matrix from Wikipedia on panthera hybrids:
| Lion ♀ | Tiger ♀ | Jaguar ♀ | Leopard ♀ | |
Lion  | Lion | Liger | Liguar | Lipard |
| Tiger | Tigon | Tiger | Tiguar | Tigard |
| Jaguar | Jaglion | Jagger | Jaguar | Jagupard |
| Leopard | Leopon | Dogla | Leguar | Leopard |
The links will take you where you need to go. Unleash the 10 year old within!
