Can hybrid animals reproduce?

Hybrid animals cannot reproduce.

Hybrids such as Mules and hinnies cannot produce viable gametes.

This is because of the presence of extra chromosome which cannot make a homologous pair at meiosis.

The meiosis gets disrupted, thus the viable sperm and eggs are not formed in hybrids.
