Prezygotic-isolating barriers are things that stop or hinder the development of a zygote. They are barriers before fertilization. These barriers can by temporal or based on time or season. They can be mechanical based on a size difference that prevents mating. They can be certain behaviors that prevent mating like different courtship dances, calls, etc. Or two similar animals are simply too far away for mating to occur.

- Certain breed of dogs are morphologically incapable of mating due to size.
- Frogs live in the same pond but breed during different seasons (summer vs. spring).
- Certain groups of birds will only respond to species-specific mating calls.
- Lions and tigers can potentially interbreed but they usually occupy different areas.
