It doesn’t make sense and eventually we might get an answer

She’s saving the answer for her graphic novel! She can’t give everything away before she finishes it. That’d be like someone telling you all the spoilers in a book before you could read it!

there are certain animals in nature that do not reproduce that are a product of two other creatures reproducing….Mules, Horses, etc etc….If I understand right, a mule + horse = an ass…i think…and those cant reproduce, they’re sterile. A poad could be a griffin and a guinea pig…having a family! 😆 😆 I like to guess, and am also happy to wait for the answer!

Could work like snails. I had just one in a terrarium type jar when I was a kid and a year later they were all over the jar. They can produce even without 2 to tango. 😛

The whiptail lizards here along the Rio Grande are all female. They’re parthenogenic, meaning clones of the “parent”, so essentially you have a bunch of the same DNA running around. Not sure how many truly unique individuals there are… 🙂

Hmmmm… edited to say that it’s still technically reproduction though.. just asexual. Can’t wait for the comic 🙂

Umm Hate to be nitpicky but a Mule is a Donkey/Ass crossed with a Horse, and so’s a Hinny, Depends on which is Mom, and which is dad. Donkey and Ass are for the most part an interchangeable term, however the Asiatic Ass is separate from that general gene pool, like the Prezwalski is separated from “Horse”.

Sorry I’m in a bit of a mood, and oh apparently not all Mules are Male, or sterile!!! just the majority, and very few Mules have ever Sired, and ion the last 100 years apparently there’s been 2 females that have foaled. If I’m remembering that correctly. (I watch/read/study too much since stuffs 😯 )

Thanks for that clarification, Lupin. Saves me from writing it. 😆

A mule is derived from a male donkey crossed with a female horse. A Hinny is from a male horse crossed with a female donkey. Asses, on the other hand are viable populations of donkey-like animals, but are not donkeys. Examples of this include the Somalian Wild Ass (highly endangered), Onagers, and Kiangs ( also endangered).

And I also suspect there were far more viable mules than people know. I know of at least one fertile mule that wasn’t ever officially on the books. Unless people can constantly monitor who breed with who, and keep a record of birth along with DNA testing for parentage… it’s really hard to say officially how many mules have sired or foaled young. As humans, sometimes we ourselves aren’t exactly great at guessing or policing parentage. 😛
