ahem. If your daemon can settle as a DOG with WINGS, I believe I can say without any doubt here, any form is possible.

Yes. It probably could. Elafros settled as a yellow throated marten before Josh knew what those were. =)
There was a show on AP called Humanzee. It was about this weird chimp, that looked like it was a human, chimp hybrid. It walked upright, it was smarter than the rest, and it had a human-like face. They tested it and determined that in fact, it was a rare species of chimp that are found in a different place than the regular ones, and that had been captured unknowingly by a poacher.

I read something about the Humanzee a few years ago, it scared me, I don't think the article I read told you that it wasn't actually half person. Eugh flashback.

I remember hearing about that too. I'll find an article and post the link.

I agree with Kate and Kael. They're twisted people playing God for no reason, and it pisses me off.

Ok.. so it IS wrong for them to exploit the animals like that, and to try and play God. But like someone else said, at cat sanctuaries, they put animals together to help SAVE them, and they just happen to breed.
And dogs and wolves or other kinds of dogs? Domestic dogs get loose. They go out into the wild, and boom, you have wolf dogs.
*has ranted enough*

I agree with Kate and Kael. They're twisted people playing God for no reason, and it pisses me off. Why though, yes these people have no life because they are coming up with new breeds. But fo instince my hybrid wolfs that I own, those do exist in nature without scientists, because of the way nature is and how compatible other species are it will always occur regardless. I meen that is how new breeds are created after all.

It happens naturally, but I do agree that scientists messing around is cruel. OK, sticking two different breeds together is fine but fucking about with genetics and such is wrong. Like animal testing etc

I think it's fascinating, but wrong if it doesn't help anyone in any way. Messing around with genetics for no reason is eeire and cruel.
An aside: I think that Darkett's old jaguar form wasn't a jaguar after all--it was a puma/ocelot.

Like animal testing etc But what if it's GENETCIALLY possible and just wouldn't occur in the wild? True enough,a tigon wouldn't exist in the wild,but due to an equal number of chromosomes, they can truly GENETICALLY mate and created these hybrids.

*Points up* It does happen in the wild like my hybrid wolfs you don't just breed a dog with a captive wolf it usualy just happens by accident because they are 100% compatable.

It shouldn't matter whether they're compatible or not. It shouldn't -matter- whether it's okay 'just because hybrids occur'. It shouldn't matter. They're still just taking a lot of animals and making them breed just because they want something new and interesting. What's wrong with having a normal tiger? What's wrong with normal lions, or leopards? These are species that are struggling desperately to survive, and a bunch of scientists and researchers and big cat fanciers are breeding these mix-breed things so they can sell them off as fascinating and 'unique', mostly just to amuse themselves or pull a buck. It's bad enough that people sell big cats on the black market and they end up dead or sold off to a big cat sanctuary because the idiot got some neighborhood kid mauled, or couldn't afford to keep their animal up. We don't need a bunch of 'neat' hybrid cats out there with muddy breeding. We don't know what kind of inheritable diseases these cats might carry, or what kind of defects might result from crossing them. And why are panthers and pumas and lions allowed to somehow 'accidently' get together and breed? That suggests poor upkeeping of habitats or cages, because the species shouldn't have been allowed to be mixed. How many animals have been killed mixing the different cats? Or at least hurt? I've never agreed with wolf hybrids. I've seen plenty of nice ones, but it doesn't change the fact that you're taking an animal that has been bred for hundreds of years to be domestic and an animal that is wild by its very instincts and mixing the two. Sure, some turn out just fine, but others can become difficult if the owner can't house them or keep their minds stimulated enough, and then you see a bunch of attack incidents, wrecked homes, or whatever. And then all of them get a bad name. I don't agree with breeding wolf-hybrids, and I don't agree with wild animals as pets or as projects.
