No, two different species of animal cannot cross breed. The sperm from one animal cannot successfully fertilize the egg of another species.
There is one exception know of, a horse and the donkey breeding to make a mule, but the flaw is, two mules can't produce offspring. To produce another mule, you must breed a horse and a donkey again.
Advances in cell Biology have opened the door to the possibility of organisms breeding from different species, though.
Hope this helps!
By the way, I used my Science textbook Cells, Tissues, Organs and Systems to help me. (I just finished that Unit!)

∙ 11y agoScientifically, YES!
Scientists have successfully bred animals together, of course if that is only if they are of the opposite gender. Not only have scientists successfully "bred" two different types of species together but have also manufactured fruits with two different flavors. Just recently, scientists developed the new 'Watermelon Apple'. It is an apple, containing the content of a watermelon in the middle. Incredible! Who would have thought that was possible? -But yep, it is.
HOWEVER, if you breed two different species/ organisms, you cant produce offspring with them. Scientists are unable to produce offspring from the new species.
There are MANY animals humans have created: The Zorse...
HOWEVER: If the two different breeds are not related, or are in a similar genus (family), it is classified as 'impossible'. A mule and a mare can produce, since they are in a similar genus as one another. But, a camel and a llama cannot produce, as they are not in the same animal Kingdom (Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species)
Thanks!

∙ 16y agoIt depends on what you mean by that...........It is very possible to mate animals of the same species.....such as ligers (lion tiger), zorses (zebra horse).

What is crossbreeding?
To produce a hybrid animal by breeding two animals of different species. For example, crossbreeding a male donkey with a female horse will produce a mule. To hybridize. Hybridization
What is the term for a natural genetic cross between different breeds?
Well, for example say the father was a labrador and the mother was a Poodle the puppy would turn out a labradoodle which is a cross between a labrador and a poodle. So if you buy one breed of dog and another breed of dog when they mate you should have a cross between the kinds of breeds that you chose to be the mother and the father. Hope this helps!
Can you breed a manatee and a dugong?
I don't know if they could mate or not. But they are two different animals within the same family similar to a porpose and a killer whale both being in the fame family.
What are the two types of selective breeding?
There are more than two, but two of them can be Monohybrid Cross (a cross involving one trait/gene from a single locus, and Dihybrid Cross (a cross involving 2 traits/genes occupying two different loci
In a two factor cross Mendel followed what?
two different genes source: Prentice Hall Biology Book.
What is an cross?
it is when 2 different species of animals breed and create a sort of cross between the two species.
What is an cross breeding?

What is the difference between cross breeding and inbreeding?
cross breeding is taking two different breeds of animals, inbreeding takes the same breed of animals
Why would you breed two different animals of different breeds?
to get a new breed
What two animals cross breed a greater roadrunner in tap zoo?
Cross Breed a Cheetah and a Scimitar Oryx. It will cost 5,500,00 coins.

What comes if you cross male purssian and female siameese?
If you breed those two different kinds, you will not get either one in their kittens, but will get kittens that have attitudes and looks like those two different kinds of cats. As an example, if you breed two different kinds of dogs, in their puppies you will get a mutt. A mutt is a dog that isn't a one-of-a-kind dog. Those kinds of animals are very special.
