Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 With what? And can the offspring stay fertile? The reason that a species is usually defined as being things that can't interbreed is that if they interbreed, the borders become fuzzy. It's the indefinitely fertile offspring that matter, not the ones who can't populate the earth. Which is why I thought that the interfertile canines were all one big slobbering family .
