I understand it has something to do with the genus/species, but can someone explain it in detail? Also, I've seen people talking about natural vs. "artificially" occurring hybrids, and was wondering what the distinction is between those two?
What makes a hybrid possible?

The artificial ones just means that the two species would never come in contact naturally because of physical barriers usually. For instance, alot of rivers around here have both small mouth and large mouth bass, so hybridization in the wild can occur.

Its about genetics. Think about humans. Say some monster giant dude 11tybillion times larger then humans, kept humans as pets. Maybe he likes Irish people for their hair color and Japanese people their skin complexion. So he mail orders one in from Japan, and another in from Ireland. He can breed them, since they are the same species.
Say, now he wants a chimpanzee because they are very similar to humans, and he cant see much a of difference between them. Even though he cant tell, they are still a different species, and cant breed. Well at least I hope not
