Well, hmmm... horses and donkeys have different numbers of chromosomes
(i don't remember the exact number, and I may be wrong entirely... no
quick reference books about horses available).  When you breed a male
donkey to a female horse, you get a sterile mule, and when you breed a
male horse to a female donkey, you get a sterile hinny.
