Interspecies Mating is it possible?

[sevenhigh]

I was having an argument with my friend earlier and was curious as to which species will mate with each other to have succesful offspring? Such as the way different dogs and cats will mate with each other but fish will not.

Will the following species mate?



moral of the story what are the conditions for this to occur?

[goodsamaritan]

The definition of species is debatable. According to one definition, two animals are in the same species if they can mate and produce fertile offspring. OConversely, organisms are different species if they can mate, but only produce infertile offspring, or prodcue no offspring at all.

According to that definition, there could be no such things as interspecies mating because if they could mate, they would be part of the same species by definition.

inject more? seems like a bad idea, I'll stick to smoking.

I know polar and grizzly can, but rarely do.

I know my dog had puppies that look a lot like me.
