#Vultures have been documented as producing viable hybrids as well but it’s not done in captivity so it’s less common to see

My marine biology teacher has been saying that scientists now believe dogs and wolves are the same species because they can produce viable offspring. Am I wrong in saying this is ridiculous and untrue?

It really depends on how you choose to define species, but producing viable offspring is not a valid reason because that would mean there would be only like three species of birds of prey. Maybe four or five tops.

#Every falcon can breed with and produce viable offspring with any falcon #buzzards and hawks and eagles can too #true owls can hybridize with each other and any barn owl can cross to any other barn owl #Vultures have been documented as producing viable hybrids as well but it’s not done in captivity so it’s less common to see
