RT @ajohnstonfw: This is AMAZING! A hybridization of two living fossils, and I'm learning of it on #LivingFossilFriday nonetheless!
Am I allowed to be baffled as to why this study hybridizing sturgeons and paddlefish took place? Yes, it's shocking to learn that you CAN hybridise them despite how distantly related they are, but it just kind-of seems pointless and ethically questionable

I doubt it, but I’d like it if these hybrids could have viable offspring. Both of these species are slow to reach maturity though, upwards of 10 years. So it would be a while before anyone could find out...
