KatieParker 3 years ago What I think is people should stop breeding animals that normally would not breed in nature. The babies that turn out well may be sold or exhibited, and those that don't wind up at sanctuaries if there is room, or dig neglected, or dying. There's a reason most of these are "found" only in a captivity. 39 Reply

HeatherOgden 3 years ago Ligers are a terrible thing for humans to create. They suffer from gigantism Their body never stops growing and becomes too much for the to handle. So although all the animals are cute....they aren't exactly healthy 24 Reply

AaydenDye 3 years ago Jaglion pic is not a jaglion. That is a melanistic jaguar aka Black Panther. And the beefalo picture us a bison. Many of these are real but those two I know for a fact are not. Come on boredpanda. I am dissapointed in these misinformations. You can do better. 18 Reply
