The litigon Cubanacan

Cats, dogs, horses and cattle are able to crossbreed but birds, fish and reptiles seemingly cannot. Why?

PoC avatarPosted on March 26, 2022 by Michael BroadMarch 26, 2022

PoC avatarPosted on August 22, 2021 by Michael BroadAugust 25, 2021

The question is interesting because it is loosely formulated. What it is asking is can the domestic cat mate with a bobcat to create hybrid offspring and the best answer comes from Sarah Hartwell when she writes about “domestic hybrid …

Can cheetahs mate with leopards?
