Not a good criterion for deciding if a genus is valid, IMHO. There are quite a few intergeneric mammal crosses on record. For example, a hybrid between a dromedary (_Camelus dromedarius_) and a guanaco (_Lama guanicoe_):

There are also many intergeneric hybrids in birds, notably in ducks, hummingbirds and birds of paradise.
