You can't make an intergrade. Only nature can. Remember they are not a mixture of two species which everyone seems to miss. They are the missing links as one species turned into another due to an outside influrance of some sort. Aint nature wonderfull the way it works.
Can't find the comment,must be in another intergrade thread but bigguy also said an intergrade is naturally occuring in the wild and hybrids are man made which i totally agree with. Although Bigguy also wrote....

I have no doubt that on the extreme borders of the changeover zone that intergrades may hybridize with pures, afterall there is no wall seperating them.
What i'm trying to point out is why is it called hybridising if it occurs naturally in the wild.

Here's one for ya...this is a wild caught woma cross bhp which occured naturally....what would it be classified as? hybrid or intergrade?

Myself i would call it an intergrade as it occured naturally and bhps and womas live side by side in many places and as far as i know the womax bhp is the only one ever found so far but that's not to say there's not more out there!!!
