Animals born of different species are infertile why?

in science •  8 years ago 

Simply because of too much genetic difference. While we pigeon hole everything into a taxonomy like genus/species, in reality everything is just a varying range of genetic diversity. While we usually draw the line of "species" at inability to bear offspring between two individuals, its not an absolute and sometimes they can still conceive, usually infertile, but sometimes ever so often they are fertile.
