Tranquil, your husband is right , They all get prettier at closing time. I guess it's not possiable now but who knows about the future.

NYKool and Bernard, you two seem to be the ones in the know, it's going to be hard to pick a best answer

The Great White and another species have different types of sperm and egg "lock and key" mechanisms for fertilization. The sperm from one species will be unable to penetrate into the egg of another due to specific species specific protein receptors.

Read what David b says in his answer as that is the current state of affairs today but I'd say it would not be long before someone could fertilize a croc or alli egg with great white sperm just by making a couple small genetic snips on their chromosomes. We can make babies to order already but it has not been done to our knowledge as it is considered "unethical".

I am no expert either,but I would say No,only based on the facts that sharks are live born and Croc's and Alligators are hatched from eggs.

No, it would not be. They are different species and have differing numbers of chromosomes. Even if they had the same number, the genes would be so different that any resulting anything would die.

No, because one is a fish and the other two are reptiles.
(but my husband sitting next to me says, "If you give them enough alcohol they would.")

I don't think it would work either, and I would not want to be the human to try and match them up.
