I ran across an interesting case of animal species interbreeding and
producing viable offspring. In Hawaii in 1985 (I think) a false killer
whale and an Atlantic bottle nose dolphin mated and produced what was
called a "wholphin". The offspring mated a few years latter with
another bottle nose and produced a 3/4 dolphin - 1/4 whale.
Just thought I'd throw that into the species discussion.
