Can a leopard mate with a jaguar?

PoC avatarPosted on July 29, 2020 by Michael BroadOctober 4, 2020

Are clouded leopards really leopards?

PoC avatarPosted on May 1, 2020 by Michael BroadMay 2, 2020

The answer is no and I’ll explain why. The classification of the species is decided by experts and it is still not fully settled. Early on, up to 200 years ago, scientists got the classifications wrong or a least it … Continue reading →
