Zedonk

When a male zebra and a female donkey mate the offspring is called a ‘zedonk’ or ‘zebrass’.

Technically one of the "zebroid" breed, a zony is a cross between a boy zebra and a girl Shetland pony. Other zebroids include zorses and zeedonks (a zebra-donkey cross). Horse-Zebra hybrids are rare because horses have 64 chromosomes and zebras

I've always loved zebras, and donkeys too. Nice fancy dress suit for a donkey.

The Zonkey opps, Zedonk with the head down eating has a pretty head-almost Arab looking.

Wonderful! Like they are wearing trendy, stripey leg warmers. I'd love to give them a stroke and some chopped carrots. Mixed breeds are fascinating - I've seen a Liger (Lion/Tiger).
