I believe that Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens are more closely related than horses and donkeys, and they can interbreed, with sterile offspring. Lions and Tigers are at least that far apart, and they can interbreed.

Are they more closely related than chimps? Last I heard, there was about an 8% difference between neanderthal and modern man DNA, but with chimps, it is only about 1%. (Of course, a lot depends on who writes the articles one reads.)

Wow, I would not have guessed lions and tigers could interbreed.
