Zonkey (Zedonk)
A Zonkey is a cross between a zebra and a donkey. A very rare phenomenon. They have a gray color like a donkey and white stripes like a zebra. Their body is also shaped like a zebra and a donkey. Normally donkeys and zebras do not pair together, but there are exceptions. A Zonkey can't propagate, because it misses a chromosome. The family of a Zonkey can only be very small. The pedigree of the Zonkey has a very short course. In 2013 the Zonkey 'Ippo' saw the light in Italy. The father is a mother zebra and a male donkey (a endangered species from Amiata). Ippo looks at the top and bottom like a donkey and a zebra and it makes noises of a zebra. That's how nature can create an extraordinary but true phenomenon.
