I figure they're no more useful than if we bread a grizzly bear with another grizzly bear. In captivity they don't serve any purpose aside from being nice to look at in zoos. Same with most other animals like Pandas. At least by breeding a lion and a tiger or a grizzly and polar bear we learn about the distance between two animals they genetically can be before you don't have a viable animal. There's at least some biological science behind why it might be useful to breed some of these animals.
