What Do You Get When You Cross a Donkey and a Zebra? A Zedonk

A male zebra and female donkey at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve in Dahlonega, GA, producing a rare "zedonk" foal a week ago:

C.W. Wathen, the preserve's founder and general manager, said the foal has a zebra's instincts. Wathen said she sits up instead of lying on her side, as if she's staying alert for predators.

Donkeys and zebras don't usually mate, but zedonks turn up occasionally.

This creates a whole new meaning of "put a donk on it"!

c0ldfish, often the name given to a hybrid is different depending on which species is the father and which is the mother. It can be very confusing - and different countries use different names.

You can see zebra donkeys on every corner in Tijuana. Well, donkeys painted to look like zebras.
