My (probably naive) impression is that the wolf-hybrids are far
more
wolf-like than the Bengals are "Leapard"-like.
The explanation of the origin on the Bengal Cat Society page seems
the best.

The wild origin is a small spotted wild cat. The Bengal Cats offered
as pets
are several generations removed from that origin.
Thanks for the link.
Do you happen to know if they are they recognized by The International
Cat Association or any other breed registration orgs?
