Answer:

In some case, organisms of different species can mate and produce healthy offspring, but the offspring are infertile, can't reproduce. Because of this, we consider horses and donkeys separate species. Hybrids are the offspring of two species. A mule is the hybrid offspring of a female horse and male donkey.
