Permits for Native Species (dated 2006)

Hybrids are offspring of animals or plants where each parent is from a different species/subspecies and where at least one parent is listed under the ESA. Hybrid offspring of animals bred or propagated in captivity are not protected by the ESA. It is recommended that breeding records be maintained to show parentage and hybrid status. Other laws such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA) and CITES consider hybrids protected.
