interspecies
Across different species
Interspecies means between or involving different species.
The term appears in scientific contexts—interspecies communication, interspecies breeding—and in popular discussions of animal behavior: The video showed an interspecies friendship between a dog and an owl.
In science fiction, interspecies often describes relationships or conflicts between humans and aliens.
