how are people breedng all these cat hybrids? do they make a guy put on a rubber glove and jerk off lions? How do those guys avoid getting eaten?
or do they just like, dress the tiger in fishnets and put her in the lion cage?

Half the people on this board would fuck a big cat, what makes you think they wouldn't just fuck each other in captivity if they are kinda used to each other and don't see each other as a threat

i just assumed if two species were genetically similar enough to create a hybrid, they were also visually similar enough to end up mating without any external intervention required

Sadly male tigons and ligers are sterile across the board so that is out of the question. However FEMALE tigons and ligers are fertile for some reason (although it seems they don't conceive as often as pure tigresses/lionesses), and can breed with both tigers and lions. The cubs have some funky names:
Tiger + liger = Tiliger
Lion + liger = Liliger
Tiger + tigon = Titigon
Lion + tigon = Liligon.
Afaik these second generation hybrids have not successfully had offspring of their own but might be because of factors outside of just fertility (remember these hybrids have never been observed in the wild and are purely a animal theme park invention).

Guys I have a serious question.
You see, there is this pic related thing called a "pumapard"
Its an hybrid of a cougar/puma and a leopard.
Thing is, the genetic distance between pumas and leopards is ~ 11 Million years
Meanwhile the genetic gap between humans and chimps is only 7.5 million years
Is it possible to breed humans and chimps together?

niggers in africa have claimed numerous times that apes knocked them up, or they knocked up an ape. Probably impossible for a white person, but the nogs do have some proto-human DNA that none of the rest of us have.
Despite all the effort we've put into categorizing africa, there's literally thousands, tens of thousands, of tribal groups that spent the last 10K years massacring each other. The past 100 haven't exactly been greatly conducive for research either.

That's a black jaguar.
Also, how the hell did a puma and a leopard mate in the first place? One is from the Americas and the other is in Africa, and I highly doubt a zoo has both.

The first reported puma/leopard hybrids were born in 1896 as part of the animal collection of the Ringling Brother's circus. Then apparently one of the Rothchilds wanted some pumpards to show off too and had his menagerie guy breed some, like pic related. As far as I know there are no living pumapards; makes me wonder if there are any big cat collectors who own both and would be willing to let them go at it?

Because the sex chromosomes contain more genetic material than just sexual characteristics.
The X chromosome of lions contains growth inhibitors, so in a liger, you basically have the super growth lion genes without the inhibitors that usually come with it.
