This just occurred to me, in a world where furries existed and species thus replaced race for us humans, different species could interbreed and create hybrids; some thing we see often with the various characters on here and else where. So if that were the case, how long would it take before the species of that world were as genetically 'mingled' as humans are in our world? And how would there still be species left? You'd have characters like Zigzag who are classed as a skunk but their coloration doesn't match the species.
Please don't let this get carried away into some thing racist or any thing but it really got me thinking and wondering what sort of social norms furries would need to maintain their species integrity and such. Like Zootopia, all of the movie characters were pure bloods. It'd be easiest to explain if the species weren't genetically compatible and thus couldn't interbreed, as imagining all of them being bigots against interbreeding when there's SO MANY different species.
For me, I honestly always look to science and see how real world interspecies breeding works and assume thats how it'd work for furries as well. Your wolf character could knock up a coyote or canine partner but not a fox. Species who are slightly related would have a very low chance, like your zebra knocking up a horse would be unlikely (but possible) while easily impregnates a donkey.
Thoughts?
