If the two organisms are able to interbreed with each other then we know that they are from the same species because the individuals in a species are able to interbreed and produce fertile offsprings.

they usually have similar physical features.

eg: tiger and lion.


Organisms that are of the same species will share similar characteristics- just as all finches has similar traits and all dogs and cats have features that make them easy to classify as feline or canine.

If two animals are the same species, they will produce fertile offspring. For example, if a horse is mated with a donkey the result is a mule, but the mule cannot breed. The horse and donkey are not the same species although they have certain similar characteristics.

How do you know lions and tigers are not the same species?

The exact definition of species has been difficult even for scientists to determine. However, in the case of animals, if one animal is crossed with another and the hybrid offspring are always infertile, the two animals are of different species. This is usually the case with lions and tigers. Hybrids (ligers or tigons) have been created in captivity, but the males are always infertile, and females usually are, too. However, in some cases, two animals that seem to be separate species can be crossed and create fertile offspring. In those cases, it is very difficult for scientists to determine whether two animals belong to the same species or not.

How are 2 organisms the same species?

If two organisms are able to mate and produce fertile offspring, then they are of the same species.Horses and donkeys are two different species because if they mate, they produce a mule which is sterile (not fertile). This shows horses and donkeys are of different species.


What two species appear to be most closely related?

Technically, there could be thousands of answers, as two animals can have the exact same hierarchy except for the species. There can not necessarily be two "closest related species". There are, however, instances where animals of the same species have made different adaptations. Such as in one type of hummingbird living in South America, the female has a longer, more curved beak than that of the male because they feed on different flowers.


Are there similarities and differences between animals or the same kind like two pet dog and rabbits?

Yes, both similarities and differences can be drawn out of any two objects. This would apply to any two animals, whether they were different or the same species.
