I Wonder What You Think About This - Do You Think That The Children Of Animals Of The Same Species, But

I wonder what you think about this - do you think that the children of animals of the same species, but of different subspecies, are hybrids? For example, in my mind, Louis's biological mother is a fallow deer, and biologically father is a red deer.

IRL? They're very much called hybrids- check ring species and hybrid zone on Wikipedia to read more about it. In Beastars? Probably not, since the pool of possible hybrids is much wider. Either that, or they'd be classified as more "normal" hybrids. Like, in a list from most accepted to least accepted:

Hybrids between two subspecies of the same species- often not even clocked as hybrids or recognized as such, seen as normal.

Hybrids between members of the same genus but different species, like lion/tiger hybrids or mules. Usually clocked as hybrids, but not seen as too unusual, somewhat "exotic" but still normal.

Hybrids between two members of the same family/subfamily but different genus, like a llama/dromedary hybrid or a wholphin . The point were hybrids start being seen as odd and discriminated against, but these ones can usually still live mostly normal lives without too many obstacles.

Hybrids between two members of the same order but different families- surprisingly common with birds, apparently, but unheard of with other orders. I wonder if this means these hybrids would be less discriminated if they're bird hybrids, but much more discriminated if they were, say, a cougar/wolf hybrid? Something to think about for sure.

Hybrids between two members of the same class but different order- this is were Melon is (both mammals, but leopards are order carnivora and gazelles are order artiodactyla). Also the point where I think we don't have any IRL hybrid animals to reference. These hybrids are generally treated rather poorly by society and discriminated heavily.

Hybrids between two members of the same phylum but different class- this is were Leano is (both chordate, but grey wolves are mammals and komodo dragons are reptiles). The rarest type of hybrid, and usually seen as an aberration to nature when they do occur.

I don't know if two animals from different phylums could procreate tbh... Even with Beastars' crazy genetic outbreeding capabilities, I feel like that would push things too far. But what do I know?

Anyway, sorry for my massive ramble to answer your very simple question lol. A guy likes overthinking.

I’m just realising now how much I hate doing sketches as the first draft of my drawing

At this point I’ll just stick to using blocks of paint and my bare minimal fundamental knowledge to make my stuff
