On the subject of Hedgebats, I'm going by the Archie continuity of genetics-single(not twins, triplits, ect.) children share the species of whichever parent they get their gender from(if a son's father is a rabbit and his mother a fox, the son will be a rabbit) and will exhibit traits from both parents(I.E. mother's colors).

Kinda strange, being as this could also be seen as a SEGA headcannon, too.
