h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There is currently a conversation on the radio about a lion and a tiger mating and,as a result, producing a LIGER.
Not sure whether it is true...maybe other researchers would confirm it.

Anyway they are holding a phone in....or should I say text in....where people suggest other wacky relationships.
So I just thought that maybe h2ers would come up with some as well.
Try to keep them clean though.

How about a DOG and a STORK to get a DORK?

Ah but if you use a male tiger and a female lion you get a Tigon. And yes they do exist - they're like the mule though, sterile. I believe a Liger is even bigger than a Tiger making it the worlds biggest cat.

So reversing your pairing would give a Stog

How about a Rhino and a Hippopotamus

A Rhinopopoatmus .... sounds Greek

OR crossing a Duckbilled Platypus with a Duck would give a

Duckbilled Duck

I know the Liger exists and it is bigger, but does the Tigon actually exist?

yep check this out

Blimey!

If you crossed a camel with a leopard would you get a camelopard?

A badger and a cat

an octopus and a helicopter

an octocopter !

.....sorry, it's just something I wrote a little silly song about once and I've always had a soft spot for them...I even have the full evolutional history too.....

yes I know, I know...(hangs head)

...oh and a tadpole and a badger


a TADGER!

'.....sorry, it's just something I wrote a little silly song about once and I've always had a soft spot for them...I even have the full evolutional history too.....'

that sounds like a guide entry!

Hmmmm...does the guide tolerate entries on creatures that only exist (to my knowledge)....in the minds of the author?

god that website is strange....the greenapple one posted above....I really like the black tiger and the spotted lion.

A badger and a cat, a cadger? a dog adn a badger a dadger a gnat adn a badger a gnadger

A Jackday and a monkey make a...

Junkie

or even a Jackdaw

This reminds me of an Ogden Nash book I one owned - wonder where its gone. All sorts of wacky crosses like these with pictures and poems to go with them. Can't remember a single one of them though which it highly annoying. Off to warrior-female website for a shufty..

How many people would fit inside an "octocopter"?

Think I would like one of them.

I think a Tigon sounds more fierce than a Liger.

A cheetah and a monkey.....Chunky.

A cricket and a bat?

(I love these! 2 Ronnies upbringing!)

Scientists have just crossed a table tennis ball with a 5-foot chamberpot to get a ping-pong piddle-high poe.

I use to love watching them.

For some reason I thought Ronnie Barker was dead,but then I saw a tribute thing to him on BBC1 one night.

And I never realised Corbett was as small as he is either...I thought it was just an ongoing joke.But its true.

A Labrador and Poodle...Labradoodle!

And reading the paper about the Liger today it said there actually is a Labradoodle
