Posted by: THAsia at Fri Oct 17 01:32:14 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by THAsia ] iversoni is definately a hybrid....I would say more Asian species will be found to be hybrids...perhaps even wild hybrids. I do know that at least two farms in China produce hybrid iversoni on purpose. I've got pics of the parents mating and the resultant hatchlings. Male Cuora trifasicata will mate with anything and depending on the coloration of the animals involved you can get varying degress of differences in offspring. It also depends on what species is the father and which one is the mother. When you have a species that is considered so rare but yet has so much variety in appearance it 'could' be the result of hybridization. Usually rare species bottleneck and the genetic pool is so small that there isn't much diversity over time. | ||
