What would you define as a species? Organisms that can produce fertile offspring? 4 of the 5 species in the Panthera genus (the odd one out being the snow leopard) can reproduce and have fertile offspring, examples including ligers (Male Lion X Female Tiger), jaguleps (Jaguar X Leopard), jaglions, leopons (Leopard/Lion), and tigons (Male Tiger x Female Lion).
What does this mean for the term species? Could a hybrid breeding population survive in the wild? Are snow leopards really incapable of making hybrids, or have we just not tried hard enough? And most importantly, is this the next step humanity needs to make towards genetically engineered catgirls? Discuss.

Organisms that are able to reproduce is the classic definition.

The next step humanity needs to make towards genetically engineered catgirls is in interspecies cloning. If you had a willing human egg donor, the cloned kitten would have human mitochondrial DNA. Theoretically, you don't even have to implant the egg in a human either.

Here's some chick that tried it with a dog:

What about human girls?
>>
>>2464556
Genetics don't work that way.
>>
>>2464544
>Organisms that can produce fertile offspring?
no.
organisms that DO produce fertile offspring most of the time.

Many many species of animals CAN produce hybrids.

they just usually don't.
>>
I want to know if humans & chimpanzees could create hybrids.
>>
>>2464743
No. It's been tried. And probably many more times but they kept their mouth shut.
>>
>>2464743
Probably would look terrifying.

>What would you define as a species? Organisms that can produce fertile offspring?
That is the classic definition, but it doesn't work with fossils/ any creature that breeds asexually (and there are more of them than you think).
So another method in that case is just by similarity.
