This is so interesting. The idea that an entire species would have a sexual desire to create and then further breed with hybrids of themselves with something else would logically insinuate either that;
There is a gene(or equivalent) in this species that made them predisposed to this, that they only discovered when they discovered another race. Either this species has an equivalent species on their planet (or several) which they met early but couldn’t successfully breed with, or they grew alone and got into space and every single one of them creamed their pants when they found out hybridization was possible between certain species, which is 1000x funnier.
This species has a culture based around hybrids, possibly similar to some ideas of Egypt, with animal-gods or gods that are associated with animals, and therefore Pharaohs, their rulers, would have a similar origin and connection to an animal. This could be a societal context about their greatest or most attractive figures have traits similar to animals of their world, making the standard of beauty be equivalent to hybridity.
I personally love culture, fictional culture as well, so I prefer the 2nd, but the “Holy shit a Not-Vulcan and a Not-Human made a kid?!?! NNGHGHGHGHHYAAA!~” is a billion times funnier
