There are many examples of two species of animals that have/can/do produce offspring. A well known example of this is the mule. There is an example of a horse donkey mating on my mating dvd. While not terribly creative, these new hybrid animals are usually named by combining the common names of the parents. When the male and female of both species can each be combined to form the hybrid, it is the name of the male that is used first. For clarification of this, see the examples below:

• liger = male lion + female tiger

• tigon or tiglon = male tiger + female lion

• mule = male donkey + female horse

• hinny = male horse + female donkey (jenny)
  

• zorse = zebra + horse

• zonkey or zebrass = zebra + donkey (ass)

• cama = camel + llama
