Why are interspecific hybrids NOT classed as their own species?
An interspecific hybrid is an organism resulting from the mating of individuals from different species. While these hybrids combine genetic material from distinct species, they are not classified as a separate species due to challenges in reproductive success, adaptability, and ecological fitness. For example, mules, offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, exhibit hybrid vigour but are often sterile. This reproductive limitation prevents the establishment of stable populations, emphasizing why interspecific hybrids are not recognized as independent species despite their unique traits
