Is it genus? I think it's genus...Let's see...Canis lupus, Canis latrans, Canis familiar...but then the dolphins and killer whales are in different genuses (genii?)...and camels and llamas are in differing genuses but the same family...so I think the requirement is, they must be in the same family.
But then that wouldn't explain why we don't see any cute little dog-fox or wolf-fox hybrids. And, also following that theory, humans could mate with chimps and gorillas...and that just ain't right.
I guess for some species the requirement is they must be from the same genus, and for others it's just the same family.
