I have just learned that a Baboon and a Rhesus monkey can cross.  
Before this was done most experts did not think this cross would 
work.  I also heard of a Gibbon-something hybrid.  In one of 
these two crosses there were several more chromosomes in one 
species than the other, but it still works.

So far I have the following pairs:
