The mysterious tiger trout doesn't make an easy catch!

The tiger trout is one of the most mysterious trout that exists. A tiger trout is a cross-breed or hybridization between a brook trout and a brown trout. What makes this an even more unique fact is that a brook and brown trout each belong to a separate genus. So even though it is easy for biologist to perform this cross-breeding of the tiger trout in a controlled setting, it is very rare that tiger trout occur in the wild.

To make a tiger trout the female has to be a brown trout therefore the male must be a brook trout. The body shape of a tiger trout most likely takes after the brook side of the family while there scales are larger like the brown. The tiger trout's spotting pattern is different from either parent and quite striking. All tiger trout are sterile due to the dissimilarity between the number of chromosome's in each parent and this results in a low tiger trout population, so your chances of catching a tiger trout are very slim.
