| has gloss | eng: A sheep–goat hybrid is the hybrid offspring of a sheep and a goat. Although sheep and goats seem similar and can be mated , they belong to different genera. Goats belong to the genus Capra and have 60 chromosomes, while sheep belong to the genus Ovis and have 54 chromosomes. The offspring of a sheep-goat pairing is generally stillborn. Despite widespread shared pasturing of goats and sheep, hybrids are poorly attested, indicating the genetic distance between the two species. |

Nonostante l'ampia condivisione pascolo di capre e pecore, gli ibridi nascono raramente, il che indica la distanza genetica tra le due specie. Essi non devono essere confusi con la sheep-goat chimera, che sono una chimera. |
