RE: The difference between "Breed" & "Species"

Make sense. Thanks for clarify.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Smile

Same species can have different breeds. Obviously these different breeds of the same species can "cross-breed" together, and their offspring can still reproduce without a problem.

It is not the same case when the "cross" is between different species. Think about liger (cross between tiger and lion), or mule (cross between donkey and horse). These cross-species breeding usually result in offsprings without the ability to reproduce again.
