    We still learning about the Genetic code everyday, even though it looks like it isn't possible, with our still young and premature understanding of DNA I think it is safe to say that a hybrid of some sorts like this could be possible, just not sue about this particular one. I just don't think that ideas of hybrids can get scratched off so easily.

    Ok guys and gals. No need to argue and call names. Truth is that this could not happen. Roughly put if you saw a man procreating with a Chimpanzee(our closest relative) nothing would come of it. Despite the difference between amphibians and mammals the same concept applies. The two would produce no offspring because the sperm would be rejected due to genetic differences no matter how minute. They are still so different no matter how similar they appear. They're genetically incompatible.

    Lets leave it at that please before this gets out of hand. I believe apologies are in order here as well.

    Sorry Grif but you're wrong here actually. There has been a hybridization between a bufo and a rana frog before which shows that species is not always a block. And frogs can hybridize with frogs from outside their own families. Check out the book below. It is one of the few books and in my opinion the best book on hybridization in amphibians. So you can't just flat out say it can not happen. And also its genetic barriers in the egg of the female that occur which causes it to destroy sperm from a non compatible mate and not exactlty differences in genetics that cause species to be unable to interbreed. Some animals from the same species such as hyla are not capable of interbreeding. These barriers pop up through speciation processes as animals evolve and separate from each other. Sometimes the only thing that stops interbreeding is a geographic factor and not an actual incompatibility. Reproduction of amphibians

    Though just to say I do doubt this is possible with natural means in my opinion. If it was I think we would have already seen it.

    Hybridization occurs in Dart Frogs, and is common place amongst many captive reptiles (although in some cases its pretty difficult, but definitely doable).

    Great, with our luck it will grow to 500 pounds, and start devouring cities

    I would imagine this would be difficult since pyxi are very hard to breed successfully. go for it. you never know what kind of miracle may happen
