And totally randomly, did you know that there is such a thing as a wholphin? That's right, a whale did it with a dolphin, and created a wholphin. Except that the wholphin that was born in Hawaii recently had a wholphin for a momma and though they're not 100% sure who the dad is, they think it's a dolphin. I thought that hybrid animals were sterile? Am I wrong? But supposedly, these wolphin creatures also exist in the wild, not just because some human thought it would be funny.
Incidentally, I know this is all true, because I read it in the Chicago Tribune. Online.
Hybrid animals are USUALLY sterile; it depends on the parents. They need to be genetically similar enough to produce offspring, and then they need to be genetically similar enough to produce fertile offspring. It's a continuum. And I am a pedant.
