Ram/Altispinosa hybrid

[apistoireland]

Hi,
I have seen claims that rams and Bolivian rams can be hybridized and that the resulting offspring is actually fertile. I think it highly unlikely but I'm just putting this out here for any input.

Where are these claims?

I've read opinions that M. ramirezi and M. altispinosa don't even belong in the same genus, so I'd be really surprised if they can hybridize.

That makes two of us. Unless you read German the link will be pretty useless to you.
I think it's a load of bull as well. Just wanted a few educated opnions.

I agree with you both. I can read German so please send the URL.

Yeah, I can read German as well so go ahead and send it.

For those who can't, you can always try babelfish to translate.
