Reply to comment by peteroh9 in Is there a fertile creature with an odd number of chromosomes? by TheBloxyBloxGuy
Yes, in fact there are plenty of species which have differing numbers of chromosomes within that species. All different chromosome numbers mean (if everything else is the same) is that there is slightly higher chance of genetic abnormalities and the offspring is slightly higher likelihood of being infertile.
