> Fertile offspring resulting from species crosses are not particularly uncommon.

Hi all
This reminds me of a conversation with a botanist who told me 4-leafed clovers were not uncommon; he had seen them with 5 or more. Considering how much time I have spent looking for 4-leafed clovers, I can't agree. But one man's common is another's rare, to wit: "Hybrids between species of free-living mammals are rare." *
