    gosh how you have just made me lough, lol
    En mi vida,
    el oscuro me mantiene
    cuando yo te vi
    en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

    Estrella de la mañana
    Samael te persigo a ti
    y si me quedo sin alas
    ademas me muero por ti

    This is true.

    Here is something interesting my sister sent me. Not an interspecies animal, but a new species of cat. Very interesting & a very beautiful animal.

    That's a beautiful cat.

    There's a house cat version similar to this. Apparently they enjoy playing in water and also like going for rides in the car as if they were dogs. Funky cat.

    I don't understand the bible comment, but I'm sure it's some childish, back-handed slap at religion......again.

    This isn't exactly startling news. It was 2 fairly similar bears. It's not like a cat impregnated a canary or something. We see similar things with dogs all the time.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    My cat LOVES car rides. He has traveled everywhere with us.

    It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
    Be excellent to each other

    Thanks for the link........always interested in the secretive and rare Clouded Leopard. A split in the species similar to this action occurs on a regular basis in regards to species of birds.....for instance one of the sub-species of Canada Goose is now officially a new species, the Cackling Goose.

    Kind of interesting. I was going to mention the Liger, but somebody already did. I know that grizzlies and black bears sometimes interbreed, and wolves and coyotes. The eastern coyote is much larger than it's western counterpart, and this is probably a result of the same sort thing. I don't know that those coyotes have been genetically identified as 2 distinct species, but they probably are.

    The Cackling Goose, eh? Very cool.

    Yeah, I love cats, so the clouded leopard was always a favorite, I guess it was recently they deemed it a new/different species. Very interesting.

I don't know that those coyotes have been genetically identified as 2 distinct species, but they probably are.
    I suspect that the size of the eastern coyote may be the result of some cross-breeding with domestic dogs (large breeds of course), and the fact that in the east the coyote is the apex predator in many areas. It lacks serious competition for food, thus probably grows to a greater size. I have not heard of any research that has separated the U.S. coyote into two species. Many folks are still debating whether the Florida Panther actually deserves its current status as a species.

    The Lioness in the background looks offended :D.

    Was this pic taken in captivity? I'm not sure if a tiger & lion 'cross paths' very much in the wild, if at all.

    No, the Clouded Leopard has always been a distinct species. It is now two distinct species according to the posted article.

    Cackling Goose is a cool.....I have never seen one. Folks tell me that it looks a miniature Canada Goose, no bigger than a duck.
