>>Are you really thinking Fox snakes are a SPECIES that evolved from a single hybridization event?? Tell me you have some proof.
The closest living relatives to fox snakes are snakes of the genus pantherophis, pituophis, and scotophis. DO SOME RESEARCH INSTEAD OF ARGUING OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD.
There are probably 1000's of examples alive today among the 5 to 100 million species living on earth. Rather than put the burden of proof on me, why don't you prove that NONE of the 5 to 100 million species arrived by this method.
JOE, I posted "its next to impossible" for this to occur. You followed with a "suggestion" without proof. Yet you ask ME to do the research?? NOPE, you cant have it both ways. DO YOUR OWN RESERCH. Just because they are related to other colubrids in NO WAY does this mean a hybridization event ever occured, never mind led to this said SPECIES. They most likely had a similar ancestor and geographic isolation occured. You only have to look at the Geography to figure this one out! Just because your eyes are REALLLY close together doesnt mean your grandparents were brother and sister! LMAO. You put the burden on yourself by making such a suggestion!
