What he said except for the sterile thing.Oh so it does not matter at all if they can reproduce or not..... interesting. I would thing they'd have to. I learned something today, thank you sir. :worship:
In truth, most crosses between any species is not going to work out. They are just to biologically different. But about half of all life can cross breed with a set number of species. IE Wolves can cross breed with most domestic dogs. OR Coyotes can cross with most dogs. Wolves and dingos. Coyotes and dingos. Wolves and Jackals. Coyotes and Jackals. And you get the point.
Same goes for some primates, cats, pigs, bovine, and other species.
The problem is that some cross will not have the same number of chromosomes, which would produce the sterile aspect. Which does happen.
The problem is that people see it as happening in every case of a hybrid, because they think it is that why, I believe it comes down to god created each species and a hybrid is not created by god, but that does not matter.
The point is that it is the miss linment of chromosomes that make it a problem.
Now I'm going to bet that most people in this thread do not even on the karyotype number of most tarantulas.
