In the 1990s, in North America, two independent lines were tested: one, a domestic fisherman crosses the cat Dabbi Black led to a SO -called Machbagral, a project that is not prosperous due to the low fertility of hybrids. On the other, the Bengali refers to the specimens of the race, leading to Vivarler, and we have already spoken in detail. The third known, the most recent attempt responds to Jambi’s name.
Are covered in line and secretly in growth
Jambi is the result of a reproductive plan carried by the hatchry Select Exodus In AmericaWho after the growth of Habari.

However, its future is the land full of questions. In the early 2000s, there were no significant improvements in the recent decades, and the number of existing models seems less. As for Jambi, Its low spread and lack of adult models Completely developed prevents a firm assessment of their behavior, hygiene and stability.

Beyond its appearance, from Animals We emphasize that wild cat hybrids are definitely not household animals. Your behavior is unpredictable Physical and mental requirements are much higher than a common cat.
The interest in hybrid models is usually linked to fashion or aesthetic attraction of the forest in urban environments, but behind each project has complex attitudes with reproductive difficulties, health problems or captive life.
