===Taxonomy=== {{See also|Hybrid name}} From the point of view of [[Taxonomy (biology)|taxonomy]], hybrids differ according to their parentage. Hybrids between different [[subspecies]] (such as between the [[dog]] and [[Eurasian wolf]]) are called intra-specific hybrids.<ref>{{cite book |last=Allendorf |first=Fred |title=Conservation and the Genetics of Populations |date=2007 |publisher=Blackwell |pages=421β448}}</ref> Interspecific hybrids are the offspring from [[interspecies mating]];<ref>{{cite book |last=Keeton |first=William T. |date=1980 |title=Biological Science |publisher=Norton |isbn=9780393950212 |page=[https://archive.org/details/biologicalscienc00keet/page/ A9] |url= https://archive.org/details/biologicalscienc00keet/page/}}</ref> these sometimes result in hybrid speciation.<ref>{{cite book |last=Arnold |first=M.
