- TylerE 7y agoIt depends, probably. I know with big cats it depends on which species is the father and mother. Tigons and Ligers are both a thing.

- pvaldes 7y agoMeat in Cetacea is red, strong and similar to beef, but fish flavoured. Would be like eating a beef fried on fish oil. Sounds a little gross to me (but anything with a high fat content would taste delicious if you are in the arctic). On the other hand, some Beluga meat is classified in the Toxic waste category so, probably not a good idea. They are prone to accumulate contamination byproducts and heavy metals in blubber

- ivl 7y agoThere was an article in The Atlantic with a bit more info, but the hunter that killed it initially called it a narluga. That stuck in spite of the convention being backwards: the genetics suggest the mother was a narwhal, which would make this particular combo a belwhal by the standard convention.
