An Abomination against Nature, he literally thinks hybrids are infertile? What a fool, read a biology or genetics text, everything says in 100% wrong. Just because can breed doesn’t make a species. No excuse for not knowing basic biology. THEY ARE NOT EVEN THE SAME GENUS NM SPECIES? leopard is the only member in its genus. Cats often can hybridize as same chromosome count and similarities, are they all the same is a Lion social a Tiger? What are you on about keep them apart. Taxonomy is real or changed I actually took all comp. Vert an ant physiology genetics all biochemistry courses worked in research. Binomial nomenclature is just words like nonsense you spew! I’ve met you but had no idea you were simple! Shocking, please folks he’s extremely WRONG OFTEN. Check I assure you. Im correct, the old example of a jenet or mule is just that. Birds insects fish all animals close enough can byvridize that’s NO EXCUSE FOR DESTROYING THEIR EVOLUTIONARY PURITY. Please stop this nonsense!
Those r the most beautiful tortoises I’ve ever seen!!!!!!! U r so lucky to have those. I hope we get to see lots of videos on them! That female leopards coloring is unbelievable 😳😳WOW WOW WOW!!!!!
What a boob all fact wrong how on earth could the female not be sulcata ? Is a leap Orr going to carry the hybrid eggs of an massive tortoise. Not sane species or even genus. Not sterile, not a rule taxonomy Is real. Can’t believe I’ve spoken to him in person and he’s so ignorant on so many levels every single video is silly. Facts wrong. No it’s not in wild! Why might that be? Wrong!
HOLLYHY SHI*****!!!! Those tortoises, I love sulcata and leopard tortoises to all I can say is wow, amazing animals, your lucky to care for them for your buddy,, very unique animals
Beautiful hybrids, best of both my favorite tortoises. Hope to see more on them, and how they are adjusting to your beautiful place. Love you Kenan, and everything you do for your animals🙏🏼🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
I love your channel so much that you've just become the only patron ive joined, I believe so strongly in what you and your family believe in, conservation in action, you guys are amazing.
Now I understand the size of the large Leopard tortoise in Prague Zoo, that one was as large as the adult sulcatas. Last summer I was there and I was very impressed of the size of that tortoise. I have a large male (at least 40 cm and weighing 6 kilo), but the one in that zoo was similar to the ones Kenan just shared with us in this video.
"Interesting times" indeed, and super interesting tortoises! What beauties!!! You'll be happy to know, that I am actually learning from you! I was watching a Greg Whitstock video the other day and immediately recognized a Sulcata! 😂
Well, that is a surprisingly beautiful hybrid. Those patterns remind me of the Radiated, or even the Impressed Tortoise. That is some killer camouflage. I would not be surprised if you end up with some fertile eggs at some point. Sulcata males are infamous for breeding just about anything, including Rocks, and as their body shape and attitude exhibits more Sulcata like, if they end up with the Sulcata Herd, who knows what may happen. You have 3 after all. Two with Sulcatas, and one with the Leopards. Who Knows?? Best of luck with these beauties.
It'd be wild to get an update on these guys some day down the line, to see if they truly do get as large as a sulcata. Also, with the size difference between sulcatas and leopard tortoises....how did that work? The breeding process that resulted in lepcoptras, I mean.
Those hybrids are gorgeous! It would be interesting to have them in with the other sulcattas and see if they produce and offspring or if they truly are infertile.
Their DNA is close enough that they can produce the necessary gametes to breed successfully. The Savannah cat actually cannot reproduce with another Savannah cat. They have to breed the female with a male serval for 4-5 generations because they will produce a male Savannah cat that can breed successfully. But by that stage they have lost most of the characteristics that people are looking for in a Savannah cat.
Hey Kenan I think these two leopards are Spp leopard aka South African leopard, yours are Spb aka East African leopard, it is a good idea to keep them separate
Kenan a video on the tiger king on Netflix would be cool to see since your friend from McCarthy’s wildlife is on it and I’m curious on your take in carol baskin and big cats
Beautiful tortoise. I don't know much about tortoise but wouldn't be suprised if they would be fertile. I'm snakes there are a lot of hybrids that are fully fertile and multiple generations are produced crossing both hybrid to hybrid or hybrid to pure species.
They look beautiful. I am wondering though Kenan: What is your opinion on breeding hybrids? I am usually okay with it in pets as long as the offspring is healthy and happy but I don't think we should breed hybrids from endangered species since that would reduce the size of the gene pool. But I am curious to hear your opinion.
Lep-Cata (leopard sulcata) is the name used in the tortoise forums and groups. lepcatra sounds like chupacabra. Not a big fan of hybrids but they are very interesting looking.
They are absolutely beautiful I have seen these kind of hybrid before and was wondering how they would come out but now after seeing adults I definitely will want one now I have seen them before on fauna classifieds. They are gorgeous 👀💚🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
Kamp kenan I need some advice I have a baby sulcata and a baby leopard tortoise will they be both able to live together in the same vivarium there both very healthy with no problems advice would be very helpful ❤️🐢
Fabulous looking hybrids! A dream ‘species’ for sure.

SWEET! Fantastic group of tortoises. The patterns on the shell are awesome. You're right...what a great addition to the collection.
I love how they almost blend in with the ground!
I love how the all went off to walk around the edge of the enclosure, they are beautiful and are so lucky to join the rest of the Kamp 🐢👌🏻🤗
Those r the most beautiful tortoises I’ve ever seen!!!!!!! U r so lucky to have those. I hope we get to see lots of videos on them! That female leopards coloring is unbelievable 😳😳WOW WOW WOW!!!!!

I love these so much, I come back every couple of months just to see them again. What a dream tortoise!!!
They all are gorgeous. So glad you shared them with us.

New tortoises! Exciting, and they’re beautiful. :)
AWESOME!! The third one unboxed! I would love her for the rest of my life!
Ho lee cow. I had no idea they had hybridized those two, incredible. What a gorgeous baby!
Good to see you in action in this critical time. Stay safe!
They're so beautiful, can't wait to see more vids with these :) and see them thrive in your place.
What an interesting hybrid. kind of like having the best of both, Now I want one!! I suspect they are probably pretty pricey.
Janice Ellery I agree it’s the best of my two favs!!! Unbelievable how beautiful they r 💞
Found on line for $600 3 inch in size Tortoise Pros in Ca.
They are sooooo cute
@@treasuretim3 Lol
I found out about this hybrid like a month and a half ago. I was meaning to ask what you thought of them. And now you have three of them. Very cool.
Amazing tortoise hybrid... May i wait the next aldabra and leopard pardalis
Amazing looking tortoise! We just recently picked up a leopard and have fallen on love with the little dude.
They are gorgeous.
Those are beautiful tortoises Kenan 😲😀👍🏼
Those are the coolest tortoises I have ever seen!
They are amazing!!!! Oh my gosh I love these Tortoises!!!!!!!
Wow, amazing!! I have never seen these but they are GORGEOUS!!!
Epic looking tortoises.
Awesome video. Beautiful animals. I have a 12 year old female Sulcata.
Looking for a male in my area, maybe breed them if they’re old enough
Beautiful bunch. Congratulations
I just subscribed today I'm very impressed with your content beautiful turtles
That beautiful, never seen this one in my life.
Well, that is a surprisingly beautiful hybrid. Those patterns remind me of the Radiated, or even the Impressed Tortoise. That is some killer camouflage.

They're so cute.. I had no idea they could do that
They're all gorgeous!
Unboxing is always a favourite 🐢🦖🖖🏼
They all are so pretty!!
The shell reminds me of hawksbill sea turtles... super cool
Very cool. Thanks for introducing me to this species. Lepcata. It just sounds cool to say,lol.
It's catchy
Aren’t they all so cute 🐢 ❤️⭐️👍
That hybrid is amazing and gorgeous love the vids.
That was cool tortoises Kenan! Thanks for today! Hopefully you'll upload everyday haha
Gorgeous new babies
All of them are beautiful
I love how they’re scooting around being so curious. ❤️🤍🖤
Initially I thought hybrids are not cool, but those animals are very beautiful.
Too cool that's a beautiful tortoise
Tha is sooooooo amazing!
Hopefully i will have a tortoise
Keep it up kenan
And stay safe!

Love these my favorite tortoises together!😍❤️🐢
What a pretty set of giant mutant leopards. I wonder what their size is at, compared to sulcatas of the same age?
Yeah, me too. I wonder if he knows the exact age for comparison.
Great looking animals!
*Kenan Harkin* my mom really loves the new imports of Leopard/Sulcatas hybrids. Let me when you get a male,if you ever start to breed them!!!
WOW! They're so gorgeous!
Those hybrids are gorgeous! It would be interesting to have them in with the other sulcattas and see if they produce and offspring or if they truly are infertile.
They are female so there is a chance of offspring
I respect you a lot sir keep this show goin
Beautiful tortoises!!
Some mammals can produce fertile hybrids. You can cross cats with servals and get a savannah cat. I also knew someone who did wolf/dog crosses.
I could be wrong, but since domestic dogs are descendants of wolves they arent considered separate species so that wouldnt be a hybrid.
Ryan Allen u r correct the same goes for the cats
Their DNA is close enough that they can produce the necessary gametes to breed successfully. The Savannah cat actually cannot reproduce with another Savannah cat. They have to breed the female with a male serval for 4-5 generations because they will produce a male Savannah cat that can breed successfully. But by that stage they have lost most of the characteristics that people are looking for in a Savannah cat.
Hey Kenan I think these two leopards are Spp leopard aka South African leopard, yours are Spb aka East African leopard, it is a good idea to keep them separate
Even if the hybrids are fertile/viable, the offspring of the hybrids may be feeble or non viable. This is called hybrid breakdown.
Damn, I was expecting a Leopard-Tortoise badass hybrid but this is also cool.
haha
Whatcha think about the redcata, redfoot/salcata tortoise hybrid
wow first time seeing this mix!
It kind of looks like a pale radiated tortoise.Nice hybrids!
They are so amazing as well as all the others
Amazing hybrids!
Kenan a video on the tiger king on Netflix would be cool to see since your friend from McCarthy’s wildlife is on it and I’m curious on your take in carol baskin and big cats

I hope to meet you one day💕 hope all is well at the kamp for you and the fam!
Such a beautiful animal

Absolutely gorgeous tortoises! I wish I could have big tortoises. I live in ohio. I have 2 Russian tortoises.
Wow what amazing hybrids!!!

Wooooow! Crazy beautiful animals👍👍
My new 4 month old leopard tortoise hadn’t found his water bowl and food bowl any suggestions?
Love to watch your videos
That’s soo beautiful 😻😻
They are absolutely beautiful I have seen these kind of hybrid before and was wondering how they would come out but now after seeing adults I definitely will want one now I have seen them before on fauna classifieds. They are gorgeous 👀💚🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
What do you recommend for landscaping for a red foot tortoise
So pretty!!!!! 😯 Never knew such a hybrid existed.. was the mother a leopard?? How big does it get? So many questions
Kamp kenan I need some advice I have a baby sulcata and a baby leopard tortoise will they be both able to live together in the same vivarium there both very healthy with no problems advice would be very helpful ❤️🐢
