A species is a collection of related creatures that have a common gene pool, freely interbreed, and produce fertile offspring.
Populations are the various interbreeding groupings that makeup species. Natural interbreeding between species does not produce fruitful offspring; however, interbreeding between creatures of the same species occurs.
If horses and donkeys interbreed, the offspring would be mules.
