    Hey, there was an infamous incident of scientists accidentally producing sturgeon and paddlefish crossbreeds (this was considered to be so unlikely that the paddlefish sperm was being used as a control in the experiment they were conducting). The two species were also separated by over a hundred million years of evolution.

    It's unlikely, yes, but it's not unheard of.
