There have also been reports of Leopard/Jaguar hybrids mated to lions. Jaguar/Lion hybrids are more common as a male jaguar is similar in size to a lioness (http:/wwwzperiodzbearcreeksanctuaryzperiodzcom/jaglionszperiodzhtm). Leopard/Cougar hybrids have been sucessful as well but the animal usually possesses dwarfism. Due to the size difference in Lions and leopards it makes hybridization difficult but it has happened.
