A little twist on our regular Name That Animal game but the same rule applies – no researching, just post your best guess in the comments for fun. Answer will be posted in the comments later today.
A cryptid is an animal whose current existence is unconfirmed by mainstream science. Cryptids may be animals who are thought by most scientists to be extinct but who some believe may still exist (the Coelacanth is a famous example of such an animal). It may also be an animal who has been sighted and/or photographed but hard evidence of current existence is insufficient to satisfy mainstream science (Bigfoot, for example). Some cryptids are considered less likely to currently exist than others and many are thought to be explainable as misinterpreted sightings of other, known animals.
OK, let’s play:
It’s a Jagulion!
I looked it up – apparently the cross between a Jaguar and a Lion is not a Jagulion but a Jaglion. I think the u adds a nice jaunty twist to the name. But a cross between a Jaguar and a Leopard is a Jagupard so I am not sure what kind of rules they use to name hybrids.
Spotted lion!
saber-toothed leopard
Spotted lion
Jagulion!
those are marozi
tasmanian tiger
This will make more sense to the horse folks: a Krazy Kolor breeder is trying to create lion-aloosas!
These are lying cheeters…
They are extinct in the feline world, but can still be spotted among humans.

Shucks, I was going to say Liopard, but I’m late to the game, again, as usual, once more.
