Do you know what a mule is cause it is an animal name and creature status term? It's a result of a horse and a donkey mating. You don't get an offspring unrealted as you state, but instead an animal unable to bread and generally extremely smart. These animals have interest in mating thus all their energy is focused in thriving for themselves. It is very different in mindset from a male animal that has been neutered as cattle are for weight gain and reducing testosterone. The mule of the lions is a genetic freak that cannot bread as claimed. This lion should be kicking out the the other lion species, but fail cause they cannot breed. I don't know why there is a genetic "mule" of sorts, but am happy the "mule" status is created. Genetic incompatability, thus creating mules?
Oh, okay...I was thinking it was an actual Mule, like animal you get from a Donkey and Horse. I was trying fathom 2 lions breeding, and having a Lion, with Mules ears and a head that looked like a pit viper--and that just really threw me off. Your story still does seem a bit unusual, but definitely more plausible then what I had initially imagined. Also, more plausible then jackalopes or chupacabras.
@OP- give bigfoot a break, he does not have pay per view.
Any of you live near the Texas/Mexico border (Zapata county and surrounding)? Ever hear of a Mexican Lion? Did you know that when you cross a Mexican lion with an American Mountain lion or cougar the result is a mule of sorts. The locals/illegal immigrants called them "Once Real" (read it as if in Spanish).
I'm sorry, but this makes no sense at all, how can you cross 2 related animals and get something completely unrelated? You can't breed 2 dogs and get a "horse" of sorts, or cross-breed 2 monkeys and get a "pig" of sorts.
