 For example, the Savannah cat is a crossbreed between a domestic short-haired cat and a wild serval—both of which have different skulls and evolutionary lineage.Furthermore, hybrid females in the related genus "Panthera", such as ligers and tigons, have successfully mated, producing tiligers and litigons.The first modern, formal breeds of long-haired cats were the Persian and the Angora (named after Ankara, Turkey) and were said to have come from those two areas.
