NOT ONE has the dog and cat offspring you cite but the mixing of LILY's in one and a camel to a TYPE of camel in another. Where is fido and fluffy?

So are lions and tigers the same species? How about llamas and camels? Zebras and horses?

Yes one would expect a lion and a tiger or a zebra and a horse to be able breed(altough producing sterile offspring) when forced by humans into an un-natural enviroment.

(altough producing sterile offspring)

Apparently, you have not finished reading the articles I cited. While mules are, indeed, sterile, jennies are not. Are you also maintaining that horses and donkeys are, in fact, of the same species?

Yes one would expect a lion and a tiger or a zebra and a horse to be able breed(altough producing sterile offspring) when forced by humans into an un-natural enviroment.

No, you wouldn't. By your lights, they are separately created species. If they are separately created species, there is no more particular reason to think that a lion and tiger might mate, and produce any sort of offspring, than to think that a turnip and turtle-dove could mate, and produce any kind of offspring.
