Here in South Africa there have been quite a few records of hybrids between
Wattled Crane (Grus carunculatus) and Blue Crane (Anthropoides paradiseus).
I don't know whether or not the offspring were fertile though.  In all cases
the interbreeding took place in areas where both species are under extreme
threat of becoming locally extinct.
