No argument here.
LOL yes, go swimming in the ocean and the claim of top of the food chain wears a bit thin, LOL
I'm sorry you considered it sarcastic and rude, the way I read your own words sounded very much like you were suggesting using dog sperm as a safer contraceptive with fewer side effects than the current contraceptive pill. So I merely was pointing out the real world issues with turning such an idea into reality in a legitimate way. That was tested and proven to work, so could actually be relied upon to work for women.
I see those all the time.
Sometimes the barrier is external, eg geography.Yes. You are both correct here. But both examples are within the same species , I mentioned horses and donkeys, but not cows and buffalo.
Canis and bovinus.
I'm pretty sure too you can add Yaks and Water Buffalo and Oxen to ranks that can be cross-bred with cows as well. It would most likely take lab conditions due to size differences, but you could also add Chihuahua and Wolf to the list of animals in the cross-breeding possibles as well. For that matter, Teacup Poodles
To piggyback off of @SxaBeast linked material, I type hybrid biology into the search bar and got the following page.
Hybrid (biology) - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
And below, from the above link, I lifted via cut and paste the entire 2nd paragraph from that page.
Species are reproductively isolated by strong barriers to hybridisation, which include genetic and morphological differences, differing times of fertility, mating behaviors and cues, and physiological rejection of sperm cells or the developing embryo. Some act before fertilization and others after it. Similar barriers exist in plants, with differences in flowering times, pollen vectors, inhibition of pollen tube growth, somatoplastic sterility, cytoplasmic-genic male sterility and the structure of the chromosomes. A few animal species and many plant species, however, are the result of hybrid speciation, including important crop plants such as wheat, where the number of chromosomes has been doubled.
In my cut and paste, the bolding is NOT mine, but represents Hot Links from that page to those specific topics.
There is also plenty of circumstantial and recently, physical evidence of Modern Human and Neanderthal hybridization/cross-breeding.
Further, if you follow such information, you may have seen speculation in recent years after the discovery of fully intact Mammoth remains in Siberia of reviving the Mammoth species. Though if I remember correctly, the talk wasn't primarily of hybridizing but of straight up geneticly replacing the DNA in an elephant egg with Mammoth DNA and using an Elephant cow to bring the revived Mammoth baby to term. I didn't dig down into the technology of that but that's the general gist of it.
I wouldn't mind a big floofy tail and pointy soft ears but they were all out of stock when I was getting made.
Cow and buff arent same species or even genus.Yes. You are both correct here. But both examples are within the same species , I mentioned horses and donkeys, but not cows and buffalo.

I'm sure I've seen a movie about that, an alien species want the earth so they just introduce human pesticide to clear out the pesky hairless apes before they move in.
many of you didnt say the same thing.... some here just cursed the OP and everyone else --- thats not explanation
Yes, that was the original point I made, and why I agreed with what you said. If you don't have that, there is no possibility of any kind of compatibility.
They have different chromosome numbers
They do. Still the same family and sub family though. I'm not entirely sure, but I think Us and Neanderthals also have a differing amount of chromosomes as well. I *think* I read that somewhere but I'd have to look to see if that's true.
Both in the Equus genus, different species.
Yes, just looked up the chromosomes. I know they inter-bred, I couldn't remember if the chromosomes were the same number.
I agree. Life, in general, is too highly specialized to really allow these types of inconsistencies.
No. the ZP proteins are still species specific. They are 'similar' enough to be cataloged as ZP1, ZP2, ZP3, etc... but they are not the same cross species. Gene expression differences between species make for differing behaviors between the ZP proteins and how they behave and what they will interact with.
Since covid, I no longer think of this as a likely doomsday scenario. Covid was very contagious, yet to this day the number of total cases is less than 10% of the world population... even with a 100% mortality rate, that wouldn't be enough to cause societal breakdown. Not to mention killing the host reduces the chance for a disease to spread, and you can be damn sure humans would take such a deadly disease way more seriously than even covid.
