The offspring of a donkey (Equus asinus) and a horse (Equus caballus) is a mule. The mule is unable to reproduce because is a hybrid.
Should these 2 animals have the same classification or remain classified as separate species. |
The offspring of a donkey (Equus asinus) and a horse (Equus caballus) is a mule. The mule is unable to reproduce because it is a hybrid. Should these 2 animals be classified as different species according to the biological species concept? Explain your answer.
