Infertile hybrids undergo cell division and are able to replicate their own cells; it is how they grow and heal wounds. Cellular reproduction does not necessarily mean generating offspring.
You couldn't consider infertile hybrids to be their own species because of their infertility, but that does not exclude them from qualifying as living things.
