A zebra/donkey crossbreed
A zebra/donkey crossbreed has been born in a Chinese zoo.
The male crossbreed, born on July 3, has zebra stripes on his legs and other parts of his body, with brown fur covering the rest.
The newborn, who is 80cm tall and weighs 25kg, is the product of a female zebra and a male donkey naturally breeding. However, there are three male donkeys in the general vicinity of the zoo, so it is unclear who the father is.
Staff at Cang Hai Zoo noticed that the mother zebra was pregnant back in February. Vets were present to assist in the birth of the zebra/donkey crossbreed.

Re: A zebra/donkey crossbreed
I believe there have been other similar crosses with Zebras before?
I think it is a great natural cross personally, because Zebras are untrainable and unrideable, so a genetic cross with more docile equine species could lead to a useful species?
