Jerusalem Talmud Bava Kamma 5.8

MISHNAH: The ox and any domestic animal equally are under the rules of falling into a pit, separating from Mount Sinai, paying double restitution, returning lost property, unloading, muzzling, interbreeding, and the Sabbath. Wild animals and birds follow the same rules. Then why was it said “ox or donkey”? But the verse speaks of the actuality.

HALAKHAH: “The ox and any domestic animal equally are under the rules of falling into a pit,” etc. Falling into a pit, “and an ox or a donkey fell in there.” Separating from Mount Sinai, “neither animal nor man shall live.” Paying double restitution, “from ox to donkey”. To return lost property, “you shall certainly return them.” Unloading, “do remove.” Muzzling, “do not muzzle an ox while threshing.” Interbreeding, “your animal you shall not breed kilaim.” The Sabbath, “that your ox and your donkey may rest.”

“Wild animals and birds follow the same rules.” Samuel said, the sea goose is kilaim with domesticated goose. Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah does not say so, but an ox and a bison are kilaim with one another; a donkey and a wild donkey are kilaim with one another. Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, Rebbi stated a complete Mishnah: “Wild animals and birds follow the same rules.” Rebbi Joḥanan said, and I brought this from the House of Levi: A rooster with a pheasant, a rooster with a peacock-hen are kilaim even though they are similar one to the other.
