Any examples of escaped pets breeding with wild animals?

And possibly messing with the gene pool in the process?



Thanks a lot.Any examples of escaped pets breeding with wild animals?NO!Any examples of escaped pets breeding with wild animals?
domestic breeds of dogs cant breed with coyotes/wolves etc. their genes are too different.



the only possible examples i could think of would be rodents, some reptiles, rabbits, and fish. all of these species would have no impact on the behavior of the offspring. they are born in the wild and still have the same instincts as any other wild animal would.



its not really possible for the wild gene pools to be effected by escaped pets. ill point out the example of horses and donkeys mating, creating mules. mules have an odd number of chromosomes because the parents are different species. the mules are also sterile and unable to reproduceAny examples of escaped pets breeding with wild animals?not so sure how well that works out.. dogs can breed with coyote and wolves, but not likely that a wild female would accept a domestic male.



Even if a domestic animal did mate with a wild one.. if the resulting offspring do not have traits that will ensure survival, then they wont live long enough to contribute to the gene pool anyways.Any examples of escaped pets breeding with wild animals?
When my daughter was younger she wanted a white mouse like "stuart" so we got her one albino mouse. Well that one mouse had about 12 babies. We didn't know what to do with them. We were going to donate them to the pet store but my daughter was upset because she thought that they'd get eaten by a snake. So we went out into the woods behind our house and just let them go. We kept one. Several years later our cat likes to leave "presents" at the front door. And now 8 years later we are getting field mice that have white patches or black and white. So they obviously bred with the local mice. I haven't seen any albinos though.Any examples of escaped pets breeding with wild animals?It happens with birds. Domestic ducks often breed with Mallards, but the domestic genes last no more that a few generations, therefore having no negative effect on the wild stock genetic code.
