3) THE KILLER BEE
This is the hybrid offspring of European honey bee and the African bee .The Killer bees were created in an attempt to breed tamer and more manageable bees, but instead the offspring became even more aggressive and highly defensive bees which escaped into the wild in Brazil in 1957. Since then, they have spread throughout all South, Central and North America.

2) THE TIGON
A tigon or tiglon is a hybrid cross between a male tiger (Panthera tigris) and a female lion (Panthera leo). Thus, it has parents with the same genus but of different species. The tigon is not currently as common as the converse hybrid, the liger, but in 1961, Gerald Iles wrote that he had been able to obtain three tigons, but he had never seen a liger.
The tigon's genome includes genetic components of both parents, thus they can exhibit visible characteristics from both parents: they can have both spots from the mother (lions carry genes for spots—lion cubs are spotted and some adults retain faint markings) and stripes from the father. Any mane that a male tigon may have will appear shorter and less noticeable than a lion's mane and is closer in type to the ruff of a male tiger. It is a common misconception that tigons are smaller than lions or tigers. They do not exceed the size of their parent species because they inherit growth-inhibitory genes from the lioness mother, but they do not exhibit any kind of dwarfism or miniaturization; they often weigh around 180 kilograms.

Animal crossbreeding has been in practice for over 100 years. The reasons for this practice vary for each researcher/sponsor, likewise, the results. Some Researchers out of pure quest to better our life and protect the particular animal specie, dedicate their life into the research, while others do not have any genuine reason for doing so. Likewise, the outcome has come in various forms, depending on how you want to view it.A hybrid that comes as dangerous to some would be viewed as weapon by another party.

Join me on this trip into the curious mind of man and what they have created:

1) THE LIGER
The liger is the world’s biggest Cat at almost 12ft tall on its hind legs and weigh twice the weight of a wild lion or tiger.
Liger is the hybrid offspring of a male lion (Panthera leo) and a female tiger (Panthera tigris). The liger has parents in the same genus but of different species. They enjoy swimming, which is a characteristic of tigers, and are very sociable like lions. Notably, ligers typically grow larger than either parent species.

Cameroon 1-0 Algeria
13th min

Algeria under seige ,just sighting Cameroonian goalkeeper for first time after 5mins.

The Ghanaian crowd supporting Algeria though.

Mali just beat Ghana 2-1

If you see the way Ghanaians were rejoicing when Naija lost and they even started boasting about winning the trophy since they beat SA in a very recent friendly.

To win marches your strikers need to press the opponents defense for them to make mistakes and also not linkup with the midfield, so they will resort to long balls.

SA did it against us.Zambia did it against Eq Guinea and Mali did same against Ghana.

TheSuperNerd:
Looollll... Okay now I get you. So you are saying she is a kind of bad luck or bad omen for the team? Loooll

I was shocked when I read similar statement some days before the tournament started.

She is a real gem for the future.It is better they introduce her in the 2nd half to display her perfect ball control and eagle eye defence splitting passes ,when the opposition defense is worn out.

In other news:
Zambia 5 - 0 Eq Guinea
90min

2goals from free kicks by Zambia.

The only good thing for Nigeria is that we played so poorly that there is nothing for Zambia and Eq Guinea to learn from our game today.

Zambia scores again 3-0

The outcome reflects the game.I don't think we had a shot on target.

lastempero:
The venue of this match? Anyone with info

Cape coast ,Central region

See poor pass resulting to yellow card for for Nigeria

Oshola almost played through, corner kick to us but wasted
73min

Shot wide by SA

See rubbish cross by Oshoala

Imo in
Ordega out

okobi in
Ajibade Out

Wasted

Free kick to Nigeria in a dangerous area

We need to make changes ,else we will concede..ordega is short 1,while Ajibade is lost in the mix..
And I just don't understand all these long balls.

Opanorozie,how did she miss that

With the way some people comment here, I pity people they assess everyday ,because you can't just satisfy them.

SA played the beautiful football these set of critics want ,yet our goalkeeper was hardly troubled throughout the match. SA have been committed to this style of play since they hosted the world cup ,however,they lack quality players the style requires to win matches.

We have qualified with a match to spare ,while SA might still be knocked out, yet you want their coach.

Rohr has brought in freshness to the team yet you critics are still asking for perfumed air.

Haba,there is God o

Good first half for us considering the fact that all we need is a draw.Also they needed to conserve energy for 2nd half because of SAs high altitude.

Hopefully Success Isaac can come in to give us an attacking option at the center instead of this all wings affair.

Fly Eagles Fly.

RSANGA : With that high altitude, Rohr will surely not start with our best available 11players.And justified by certain level of fatigue against Libya in the 2nd half in Libya.

Well known old trick ,contain them first half and unleash in the 2nd half.

So obviously South Africa will be all us like bees in the 1st half,which will be their undoing based on our forwards pace.

Best of luck to our team because we really need it.

Though that wasn't a right penalty call against Cameroon because it was outside the box.But a well deserved red card due to the karate kick..

Cameroon players, helping the referee help USA.

Mr Aspiring Governor ,please be specific about your mass employment agenda.

We are tired of making wrong assumptions, before you know it ,he would have ensured all youth are in mass employment in the Unemployment Sector of making the Economy.

@Shemerkhiz

Great job,thanks for the update.

Hopefully ,this should be their last friendly against the opposite sex. We can't afford any injury now.

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) over the reinstatement of Equatorial Guinea to the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.

On Wednesday the Confederation of African Football (Caf) restored Equatorial Guinea to the finals in place of Kenya after an appeal.

In October Kenya were awarded a place in the finals when Caf ruled Equatorial Guinea had fielded an ineligible player in qualifying.

Caf's Appeal Board announced on Wednesday that: "The player Annette Jacky Messomo is eligible to play for the national team of Equatorial Guinea

In the original ruling from Caf had upheld a protest from the Football Kenya Federation over the eligibility of Messomo.

The decision at the time was that: "The player in question was allegedly of Cameroonian nationality and had played for several European based clubs."

In response FKF released a statement saying: "It is our belief that both Caf and Cas will treat the matter with the seriousness that it deserves, this even as Harambee Starlets remain in camp in preparation for" the tournament.

The letter added that FKF stands by its assertion that Messomo is ineligible to play for Equatorial Guinea.
The news of the successful appeal came just as Kenya drew 1-1 with Ghana in a friendly on Wednesday.

As it stands two-time winners Equatorial Guinea will be in Group B for the finals that are due to begin on 17 November.

They are due to begin their campaign against Zambia on 18 November before facing South Africa and defending champions Nigeria.

speedyGonzales:
are you sure about that? Ghanaian currency is no higher than Naira?

1 Ghanaian Cedi = 74.91 Naira

I am very sure. They removed 4zeros from their currency which Nigeria never did since Naira was created.

If for example Nigeria takes off 3zeros from our currency ,it doesn't make it more valuable than the dollar.

Also if you work in Ghana Ghc100 is suppose to be N10,000.00.But when you change the Ghc100.00 at currency exchange market or transfer same amount to Nigeria ,you will get N7,500.00 ,meaning your sweat devalued by 25% due to exchange rate loss.

Bede2u:
1 usd is just 4 ghc

It is $1 to Ghc4.80 which is equivalent to =N=480.00(direct conversion).

Which shows Naira is more valuable.

Ok,Nigeria should Nigexit (Brexit) this one ECOWAS currency,all other member nations' currency are far less valuable than our Naira =N=.

tbaba1234:
Unlikely

Akpeyi is not trusted,Ezenwa in not really active,Ndidi is ourtand our 2centrals defenders are not doing great in their respective clubs.

Rohr should overlook any assumed mistake of not inviting him initially ,if he proves himself in camp.

South Africa will take full advantage of the earlier mentioned ,so we need the present best keeper not track record keeper.
