No, not Pythons, skunks!

LMFAO.
P.S. Don’t forget about the Burnese cats.
Supposedly the Birman cat comes from some mountain in Burma.
Wonder where this dog would appear on the phylogenetic tree of domestic dogs. American missionaries went to Myanmar (then Burma) in 1829, and eventually got into the mountains of Upper Burma, which is the homeland of Naga and Kachin people, among other tribes, and which are primarily Christian. In the Chin Hills there is a highly variable breed called the Chin dog used as a hunter of big game. Some look a bit like the specimen pictured in the website. The Burmese people per se are mainly from the rich agricultural lowlands, are Buddhist, and are the dominant ethnic group of Myanmar. Mountain dogs would be associated with the ethnic minorities who live in the hill states. Suspect westerners introduced the antecedents of these breed(s). On the skunk issue, the hog badger (Arctonyx collaris) is the creature that produces a vile scent. No skunks in Myanmar. Myanmar hunters pursue hog badgers for food.
HAHA that’s a good one!
oh please! Burmese tigers at least!
Actually, you got it right, they are a cross between the rare Bernese tiger and a Rottweiler – see above video of the conception of a litter.
But do not rush out and by one of these F1 hybrids, as they might be a bit too nippy.
You see, it took devoted dog breeders many generations of hard work (or very good luck), to selectively breed for the rich orange color markings from the tiger, and the plush coat, while also breeding for a very dog like form.
Still, not all of the tiger genes were bred out, and pups have been know to grow into wer-tigers, dogs by day, tigers by night.
These dogs seldom shape-shift in front of their owners, although sometimes they have been know to frighten children by shape-shifting under their beds.
How do you know if your dog is really a wer-tiger? Pit Bull bones. Wer-tigers tease pit bulls into following them into a dark alley for late night bite.
So if you hear crunching during the night and find your dog gnawing on a pit bull’s bones – get the silver bullets out!
Some of the more blood thirsty of the Berners have killed so many pit bulls during their nightly prowls, that the Berners must haul all the pit bulls’ bones home in a cart.
Today Berner owners have been know to buy and decorate little dog carts for their shape-shifting breed.
This dog it not a burmese dog but a bernese dog of swiss origins. A farm dog. He was used by the farmer to bring fresh milk in their containers on a small carriage he was pulling to the dairy stores in the villages.
Switzerland is not in Asia!
I know.
It’s a joke!
