They're separated by hundreds of millions of years of evolution, this is unbelievable to me. Seems much more likely that it would be self-impregnation, which is not all that unusual.
It's comparable to a human impregnated by an alligator.

Hey, there was an infamous incident of scientists accidentally producing sturgeon and paddlefish crossbreeds (this was considered to be so unlikely that the paddlefish sperm was being used as a control in the experiment they were conducting). The two species were also separated by over a hundred million years of evolution.
It's unlikely, yes, but it's not unheard of.
damn that's genuinely nuts
maybe a human could be impregnated by an alligator...
If this is just a publicity stunt for SyFy's new movie, Shray: The Shark-Ray, I will be really mad

I don't know how but you were insta-banned from r/mcu.
It's all "miracle this" and "miracle that" until the Shark Rays grow legs and overrun the world of man.
Life uh, finds a way
So is the offspring going to look like a cross between a shark and stingray kinda like how Ligers and Mules are mixed species?
