Answer;

-They don't interbreed with each other so they are separate from each other; they are of different species.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Species are a group of closely related organisms that are very similar to each other and are usually capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.

-Interbreeding is key to the biological species concept, which defines a species as members of populations that can interbreed with each other to produce viable offspring.
