I just thought it's an interesting counterpoint, some cross-genus hybrids are possible, especially in the world of snakes.
I did mention hybrids for a reason Got to love those simple genetics. We force it on larger animals (forming hybrids) and microscopic organisms can lead to horizontal gene transfer as well. It's always to handy to see evolution at work. or at least in the extremely early stages as we see with hybrids.
