Vulturine Guinea Fowl Hybrid Sterile or Not?

Date sort Score sort
Vulturine
Family: Numididae
Genus: Acryllium
Species: A. vulturinum

Helmeted Guinea Fowl
Family: Numididae
Genus: Numida
Species: N. meleagris

Since the deviation is at the Genus level, this results in an intergeneric hybrid... Intergeneric hybrids are generally sterile but in extremely rare instances they can be fertile... It is important to note with Guinea Fowl is one of the very, very, very rare species that has also produced viable hybrids at a Family level deviation... So just a guess but the chance of Guinea Fowl intergeneric hybrids being fertile is propably higher then most other species, but I would suspect it's still very rare...
