Are there any other organisms in nature besides the donkey and the horse that can produce offspring?

Pretty much all organisms can produce offspring.
If you're asking if there are species other than donkeys and horses that are cross-fertile, the answer is still yes. Most felids, for example, are cross-fertile with other species within the same genus, as long as the size difference isn't too great. Lions and tigers, for example, can certainly mate and produce offspring, and domestic cats can (and often do) mate with the smaller varieties of wild cats.
For an example from the plant world, nearly all citrus fruits are hybrids. The key lime, the citron, the pomelo, and the mandarin orange are pure species, but lemons, most limes, most Oranges, and grapefruits (for example) are all hybrids.

What is donkey semen?
Donkey semen is the excretions from a male donkey that provides the necessary genetic information to combine with the female donkey's egg to produce offspring. The male donkey semen helps determine things like the color of the coat, breed, and other physical features of the offspring.
Can you breed brother donkey to sister donkey?
Yes they only breed with their breed.The above is only partly true. A donkey is a breed, or species (Equuis asines), It, therefore, can breed true - that is, a male and a female donkey will produce another donkey.However, a donkey can interbreed with a horse as follows:A female horse (mare), and a male donkey will produce a mule.A male horse (stallion), and a female donkey will produce a hinny.
What is the offspring of a female donkey and a male horse called?

Organisms must be of the same species in order to breed and produce offspring?
No it is not true.....The offspring of a horse and a donkey is a mule
What must true for two organisms to be considered the same species?
they can produce fertile offspring
How do you know that greyhound and poodle belong to the same species?
A species is defined as a group of similar organisms which can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Both a Poodle and a Greyhound are therefore of the same species, Canis Lupus Familiaris, as they are genetically very similar and can produce puppies which can themselves breed. An example of two species which appear very similar but cannot produce fertile offspring are the donkey and the horse. A donkey can mate with a horse and produce a foal (which is known as a mule), but this foal will be infertile and unable to produce its own offspring. Therefore, we know that a donkey and a horse are not of the same species, and that a Poodle and a Greyhound are.

A donkey and a cow are two different species. They cannot produce offspring. If a donkey were to persue a cow, it is a form of dominance behavior. He cannot sire calves or foals from the cow.
What is Porduced when individuals of different species interbreed and produce offspring?
If the two species are even able to produce offspring, then the offspring would be a hybrid. For example, a donkey and a horse breed to make a mule. Due to the definition of "species," the offspring would either be infertile, inviable or both.
For what type of organisms is species a diffcult term to define?
Species are organisms that can breed and give rise to a viable offspring. However, mules (a crossbreed of a donkey and horse) cannot give rise to viable offspring after breeding. It is difficult to apply the term species when referring to such organisms.
What is the offspring of a female donkey and a male horse called?
