    Yeah species is actually a made up concept with no grounding in empirical science. Scientists just decided to invent species to make their jobs easier.

      What defines a species is whether or not the offspring of two individuals can have offspring.

      A lion and a tiger can make, however Ligras are infertile, so they’re different species.
