Zonkey
Meet Ippo the 'Zonkey'
Rare foal was born after a zebra climbed a fence to mate with an endangered donkey. A zonkey is the foal of a zebra sire and a donkey and are very rare
A rare 'zonkey' - the offspring of a male zebra and a female donkey - has been born at an animal reserve in Florence, Italy. Adorable Ippo, who has the colouring of a donkey but the distinctive stripes of a zebra, is reported to be in good health. Her incredible conception is an example of love - or perhaps simple lust - conquering all.
The zebra, who was rescued from a failing zoo, was so randy that he climbed his protective fence and made love to a Donkey of Amiata, an endangered species, in a neighboring field. Serena Aglietti, one of the employees at the reserve, told ABC, 'Ippo is the only one of her kind in Italy.'
A zonkey is a type of zebroid, the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine. In the majority of cases, the sire is a zebra stallion.
A zorse is the offspring of a male zebra and a female horse, while a zony is the offspring of a zebra stallion and a pony mare and can even be ridden.
