==== Early generations ==== Bengal cats from the first three generations of breeding ([[F1 hybrid|F1, G2, and G3]]) are considered "[[Foundation stock|foundation]]" or "early-generation" Bengals. The early-generation males are frequently infertile. Therefore, female early-generation Bengals are bred to fertile domestic Bengal males of later generations.<ref name="Jones" /><ref>{{cite journal |first1=Brian W. |last1=Davis |first2=Christopher M. |last2=Seabury |first3=Wesley A. |last3=Brashear |first4=Gang |last4=Li |first5=Melody |last5=Roelke-Parker |first6=William J. |last6=Murphy |title=Creation of Interspecies Domestic Cat Hybrids |journal=Molecular Biology and Evolution |volume=32 |issue=10 |pages=2534β2546 |ref=Mechanisms Underlying Mammalian Hybrid Sterility in Two Feline Interspecies Models |pmc=4592343 |year=2015 |pmid=26006188 |doi=10.1093/molbev/msv124}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=March 29, 2019 |title=From F to G for Better Understanding |url= https://www.bengalcats.co/bengal-cat-generations-explained/ |access-date=January 28, 2021 |website=Bengal Cats |archive-date=February 7, 2021 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20210207025442/https://www.bengalcats.co/bengal-cat-generations-explained/ |url-status=live}}</ref> Nevertheless, as the term was used incorrectly for many years, many people and breeders still refer to the cats as F2, F3, and F4, even though the term is considered incorrect.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.bengalcat.co.uk/asian-leopard-cat/ |title=Asian Leopard Cat Cross to Bengal, Prionailurus Bengalensis |date=June 4, 2018 |access-date=January 17, 2020 |archive-date=April 30, 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20200430115637/https://www.bengalcat.co.uk/asian-leopard-cat/ |url-status=live}}</ref>{{clarify|date=January 2024|reason=This appears to be a non-sequitur. "Nevertheless" seems to have no referent. Which term is "the term ... used incorrectly for many years"? What does "F2, F3, and F4" have to do with the previous material about F1, G2, and G3? What term is "the term [that] is considered incorrect", after a list of three terms? "Considered" by whom, on what basis? It seems that either some intervening material of some importance to the context has been deleted, or someone who doesn't know what they're talking about has been writing here.}} {{clear left}}
