Interspecies Love - Pseudeos fuscata female and Trichoglossus moluccanus male Pairi Daiza, Sep 2016. <br />
This was a very interesting sighting as these two were very much a couple when I saw them, they were mating and courting the whole time. I wonder if the two species are close enough to produce hybrid offsrping, I have to check.<br />

    1. Yes, :-D it just happen to be different species of loris so I am curious on the eventual offspring if that is possible (breeding between separate species often leeds to not viable offspring) :-) Posted one year ago

    1. I wonder if it can happen in the wild as well or they are separated by regions.. :-) Posted one year ago
