    Just because animals breed doesn’t make the offspring the same species.

    Species is a construct and falls apart very quickly outside of the common barnyard and kidsbook animals. It can be a useful construct for understanding some things, but its not a “thing” that inherently exists in biology.

    We can impose an idea on organisms, but they have no obligation to follow it.
