Generally, hybrids are sterile due to the parent species having different numbers of chromosomes, which means that the hybrid cannot produce functional sex cells. However, all members of the genus Canis – wolves, dogs, coyotes, jackals and dingoes – can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, showing that they are very closely related.
