February 10, 2008: GEEP

Why not a SHAT instead of a GEEP?
Intragenus (interspecies) hybrids are common: Liger (Panthera), Mule (Equus).
Intrafamily (intergenera) are rare. Perhaps the apparent large tumor near the back leg is one result.

I don't think that's a tumor. If you look at the other pictures at the Daily Mail link, it looks like the huge upper leg muscle of a goat.

Not a SHAT because the male parent usually comes first: a LIGER is specifically the offspring of a male lion and a female tiger. If the male parent is the tiger and the female parent is a lion, the offspring is called a TIGON.

So a SHAT would have a ram for a father, and a female goat for a mother.
