Re: lions and tigers and pumpkins?
Hey List,
Yes, lions and tigers do cross, so do horses and donkeys, and most
recently
a Shetland pony and a Zebra! They didn't even know the mare Shetland was
pregnant until she delivered a tan and white striped foal. I would like to
add that at least two things have to happen for cross species fertilization.
One the DNA have to be similar enough, and two they have to have similar
mating/pollination habits. I think that animal
cross species offspring are themselves sterile, but do not know about plant
crosses.
