What do you get when you cross a goat and a sheep? One adorable little geep.

A spokeswoman for the Ulster Farmers Union (UFU) said the live birth of a geep is a rare occasion, as most die during pregnancy or are stillborn, according to the BBC. The UFU does not know of any others currently in Northern Ireland.

this is really interesting. I wonder if it is sterile, like a mule.

Hybrid nomenclature is whichever is the father species's first syllable followed by the mother species. Or vice versa, I can't remember. Hence tigons and ligers both come from tigers and lions interbreeding.

May be able to back breed with either of its parent species, but not with each other.

a common misconception but actually there are no male sheep

Dude...

I guess this is another time that a GAF 1st post delivers, but this time it is entirely unintentional.

then why is it mule/hinny instead of dorse/honkey ?

Are you talking about mules? Only females, right? And that is pretty rare.

At least that is my understanding.

Do I find this under inter species porn?

I have quite literally never heard anyone make that mistake before and I'm from Ireland. How could you? They're completely different animals

 

[Mike M]

Honestly, no idea. Maybe because mules were around before we started hybridizing other kinds of animals?

No idea about mules. I can't remember if there are hard and fast rules about hybrids or if it's on an individual basis, but I know you can breed a liger and a lion and get a liliger, for instance.

Someone spent a little too much time in Goat Simulator.

 

[freenudemacusers]

No. That's a ram.

pretty sure that goes in computers

nice try tho

 

[AlexMogil]

From wiki - Sheep belong to the genus Ovis and have 54 chromosomes, while goats belong to the genus Capra and have 60 chromosomes.

Wowie.

No one remembers that Simpsons episode about Bart's Comet?

Hmm, that's cool. I have no experience with ligers or other big cats, but I have dealt with mules in my past.
