I don't see how a geep would be fertile! (kinda like a mule, however there was ONE fertile mule, can't remember the gender/name)

Everything I've found said only female mules have ever reproduced. Here's an interesting article on mules :-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mule#Fertile_mules

Also, "geep" is a term used when a laboratory fuses a goat embryo and a sheep embryo, according to Wikipedia. That baby just looked wrong. And those geep can be fertile. It all depends on which species formed the sex organs as to which they are fertile with (TMI?) Supposedly there have been some verified hybrids (57 chromosomes, between the 54 of sheep and the 60 of goats.
