G'day Chloerochelle,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nHyenas have their own family. They are'n't either dogs or cats. They are most closely related to Herpestidae which conains mongooses and meerkats.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

The African Lion.   They live in large family groups called Prides.   These usually consist of a male that leads the group and has almost exclusive breeding rights with the various females in the group, and several, younger males that are not yet old enough to be a threat to his position.   when they reach that age they are usually driven out and live on their won until they can find a rpide of their own.   Most often it is the famles of the group that do the hunting, although the males are more than capable when required so to do.   It was this pride structure that added to the mystique and power of hte species and was part of how they came to be called the King of Beasts.

The hippogriff is a mythical beast usually considered to be the offspring of a griffon (which is the offspring of a lion and an eagle) and a horse.  Such a breeding would not be possible.\nIf, however, we ignore certain rules of genetics and imagine that hippogriffs exist:\nA lion has 38 chromosomes and an eagle has 66.  Presumably a griffon would have (38+66)/2=52 chromosomes.\nA horse has 64 chromosomes.  Therefore a cross between a griffon and a horse would leave the hippogriff with (64+52)/2=58 chromosomes.  \nThat was fun :-)

They are distantly related.\n\nThey share the same taxonomic clade:\nKingdom (Animalia), phylum (chordata), subphylum (vertabrata), class (mammalia), order (Carnivora) but it ends there, cats go on to have the family Felidae and bears the family Ursidae\n\nAfter family there is still the clades genus and species.\n\nHumans spilt from bears and cats at the order level.\n\nA cat is just as related to a bear as it is a dog, a seal or a raccoon.

opossums are marsupials, I believe racoons are in the same family as bears.

I have to say that Tigers are my fave too! I especially love the Sumatran tiger. I love all of the cat family; the grace, strength, power and intelligence. I wish I could have my own tiger (well behaved of course) but three gorgeous (and often trying) cats is probably enough for me!

Danged interesting.  I will look into this.  I have said myself that the future belongs to the best breeders of any species.  Why are the pandas and white tigers endangered and the racoon and rat thriving? Adaptability and reproduction.  It's like WHO do you think are going to inherit the earth? The little WASP couple in the gated community with one or two perfect little lily white children or the Mexican couple with eight kids who will live anywhere and do anything to survive?  Whose kids are going to be the most capable of adapting and thriving? The robust little peasants or the little hot house plants?

you got zebrinny(offspring of male horse and female zebra),zebrule(hybrid offspring of male zebra and female horse)zebu(ox with hump and dewlap)zemni(blind mole rat)zho(cross between yak and a cow),zizel(chipmunk)zonure(small south african lizard)zosterops(a small tropical bird)zumbador(south african humming bird).it was real learning for me too...answering this question..after listing all this i began thinking if getting all this was a kind of zoosophy or zoomania!!

10.  The kakapo- "It is notable for being the world's only flightless parrot, the heaviest parrot, and the only parrot to have a lek breeding system."\n9.  The hyena- "Hyenas are also highly intelligent predators, even more intelligent than the lions (some scientists claim they are of equal intelligence to certain apes)."\n8.  The Japanese Macaque- "They survive winter temperatures below -15 °C, and are perhaps most famous for the amount of time they spend relaxing in naturally heated volcanic hot springs."\n7.  The Galapagos Penguin- "It is the only penguin to live on the equator. "\n6.  The Horned Lizard- "At least four species also have the ability to squirt an aimed stream of blood from the corners of the eyes for a distance of up to 3 feet. This not only confuses would-be predators, the blood is mixed with a noxious biochemical that is foul-tasting to wolves, coyotes, bobcats, and domestic dogs and cats."\n5.  Naked Mole Rat- "Clusters of 20 to 300 animals live together in complex systems of burrows in arid East African deserts. They have a complex social structure in which only one female (the queen) and one to three males reproduces."\n4. Blue Footed Booby- "The courtship of the Booby consists of the male flaunting his blue feet to impress the female."\n3.  Mimic Octopus- "This octopus is able to copy the physical likeness and movement of different species like sea snakes, flounder, lionfish, and flatfish. It accomplishes this by contorting its body and tentacles and changing color."\n2.  Platypus- "The Platypus is considered to be one of the strangest specimens of the animal kingdom: a venomous, egg-laying, duck-billed mammal."\n1.  African Lungfish- "The African mudfish, or lungfish, can live out of water for many months in its burrow of hardened mud beneath a dried-up streambed."
