ok i was wondering what mutant animals could breed with humans

Posted: **Sun May 16, 2004 12:09 am**

what about the pig people i mean according to cross-breeding the two species must have the same amount for chromosomes the pig people have 23 chromosomes and humans have 23 chromosomes its a matter of identifing witch animals mutated to a point of having 23 chromosomes

None.

Rules for mules are on page 116 of AtB2. Other crossbreeds are not addressed, but you might be able to extrapolate reasonable stats from those of the parent species.

There's a lot more to species interfertility than having the same number of chromosomes. Best brush up on your high school biology.

Siberian Huskies are a distinct dog breed, not a dog-wolf hybrid. Like all domestic dogs they are descended from wolves however.

ligers are the mules of the animal king dom but remember the animals im talking about had their genetic code completely re wrotes some gained chromosomes some lost chromosomes or were completely changed throught that wierd ass plauge that wiped out 70% of the human population

Jacen Solo 5007 wrote:Ah. So not all hybrids are sterile, just certain kinds? I was always told all hybrids were sterile, but what about White Fang? As I recall, he was either 1/4 or 3/4 wolf, the rest dog. Also, didn't they get two ligers(lion-tigers) to successfully breed? Why are some sterile and others normal?

Male ligers are sterile, but females are not, and can successfully breed with both tigers and lions.

I never knew that! That's pretty amazing!

The shifter mouse could breed with humans....but they would only get shifter mouse offspring.

Their description says they can only duplicate other animals, not humans.

I don't have perfect human looks so I have feline ish fetures would I find a female mutant cat with partial human looks or a female mutant ummm ferret with full human looks more attractive. when would the higher pb come into play if at all. its a weird minset to try to get into.

The problem is that MOST of their DNA isn't human, and that's actually one of the problems talked about in the book. Sometimes you have 2 mutant animals that look exactly the same who STILL can't breed because of the strangeness in their DNA.
