What a beauty! Love it!

2 Kawaii 01.13.08 at 9:09 am

wow! what do you call it? zebronkey?

3 Lone 01.13.08 at 9:10 am

A Deebra? Zonkey?

Get some pink hair color on some of those tuffs and he’d fit into any big city crowd.

According to this site, zebra/donkey hybrids are called: Zebroids, Zebrass, or Ze-donks!!!!

That ze-donk is re-donk!

8 Hon Glad 01.13.08 at 10:40 am

Stockings.

9 Kristin 01.13.08 at 11:07 am

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnnngghhhh xD

10 lil 01.13.08 at 11:24 am

I know it’s cute, but sort of creepy at the same time. zebra legs?!

11 gillian 01.13.08 at 11:33 am

“That ref is a jackass”

“uh, no, he’s a zebra.”

Well, sheesh, which is it?!?!

12 BBM 01.13.08 at 1:03 pm

Beautiful! I’m always amazed how nature transforms itself in the end.

13 acelightning 01.13.08 at 1:20 pm

Oh, striped thigh-highs are *so* Goth! And the ears to match – am I the first one to notice them? This girl is ready to go clubbing!

14 Chayne 01.13.08 at 1:53 pm

This looks shooped

15 Uuuluuu 01.13.08 at 2:26 pm

Chayne: Zedonks are very real, I assure you! My local zoo used to breed them, and they do look like that.

16 Theresa 01.13.08 at 2:37 pm

WOW.

17 Michelle 01.13.08 at 3:10 pm

“Why, yes. I am the sire. How did you know”

XD

18 charliewabba 01.13.08 at 3:13 pm

So very sassy!

19 Michelle 01.13.08 at 3:16 pm

Those stripes make my eyes wiggle.

Even some horses have faint stripes, and they don’t even have any zebra in them at all:

This looks like an okapi.

21 starling 01.13.08 at 3:28 pm

Totally kewt! I can imagine donkeys and zebras can produce kiddies, they seem to be more closely related than horses and donkeys (basically, a zebra is just a donkey with stripes).

22 Sheenanana 01.13.08 at 3:32 pm

We have one of those at a zoo near me – they call it a Zonkey. It was THE hit on elementary school trips to the zoo, let me tell you.

23 Nicolletta 01.13.08 at 3:36 pm

Nature can be so cool.

24 Pam from JAX 01.13.08 at 4:21 pm

Okay, Meg, is it a she or a he? Your caption says both! Anerable whichever way; looks like it’s trying on Mom’s stockings and Dad’s ears for dress-up.

25 Leilani 01.13.08 at 4:24 pm

Man! I wish I had some stockings like that!!!

26 AliceTanzer 01.13.08 at 4:45 pm

Generally they are sterile, like mules.

27 Yitzysmommie 01.13.08 at 4:59 pm

Tewtally HEE-larious! Prosh, and I want one.

28 Margaret 01.13.08 at 5:02 pm

The parent animal on the right seems immensely pleased. Bringing sexy back, yo.

29 Anne 01.13.08 at 5:06 pm

This thing reminds me of the extinct breed – Quagga ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quagga ) – but it’s oh so cute!

30 Diana 01.13.08 at 5:18 pm

Isn’t cross-species breeding really dangerous? Doesn’t it lead to terrible genetic conditions for the animals?

31 hey-h 01.13.08 at 5:42 pm

No, Diana, there are all kinds of happy and healthy hybrids. They can’t necessarily have babies of their own, but otherwise they’re fine. (Example: mule.)

Zedonk = Redonk?

32 Michelle 01.13.08 at 5:56 pm
33 Kristina 01.13.08 at 6:48 pm

it’s actually more likely mom’s ears and dad’s stockings (which makes for a much more interesting family life, eh?)…zebra hybrids are usually zebra stallion, donkey/horse mare. plus, the behbeh is standing a little closer to the donkey…probably mom.

34 Fegli 01.13.08 at 7:01 pm

Awwwww! That is the single sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Hey supahstah… I love yo socks.

P.S. I vote zonkey.

35 thehoolia 01.13.08 at 7:08 pm

Look at the Mom–it’s hysterical! she’s all looking at her bebe and like “Man, that was one crazy night drinking with the zebras”

36 gryt 01.13.08 at 7:20 pm

Her parents look really sweet.

37 Danielle 01.13.08 at 7:23 pm

Their technical name acutally is Zonkey we have tons of them where I’m from.

38 compy-saur 01.13.08 at 8:08 pm

The baby is really cute, but I hope people aren’t breeding them like this just for kicks.

39 jen 01.13.08 at 8:22 pm

awww, junior has daddy’s legs.

so cute!

40 Lizzy 01.13.08 at 8:47 pm

Christine – you tewtally beat me to the okapi comment.

If I had built-in thigh-high striped stockings, that would rawk so hard…

His widdle mohawk is killing me. Someone dye it neon blue!!!

41 Sharon Wilson 01.13.08 at 8:51 pm

What a beautiful animal! All you need to do now is breed a striped head and you’ve got the quagga back!

42 Mrs.Fonebone 01.13.08 at 8:56 pm

The mother looks slightly embarrassed and daddy is standing quietly in the background all “Yeah, I might have had something to do with this.”
There is a Jag race car painted like a Zebra and they took broom ends spraypainted white and black alternating and put them all along the roof of the car.

43 dub1 01.13.08 at 8:57 pm

If a female donkey is a jenny, then it would be a
Jenbra
or a
Zebny.

44 Serena 01.13.08 at 10:16 pm

LOVE.

45 CheshireCat 01.13.08 at 11:19 pm

So prosh, I’m gonna go put on my stripey stockings.

46 Momof2kitties 01.13.08 at 11:33 pm

Bebeh is rockkin’ the thigh highs like I could never hope to. Rock On!

47 Annie 01.13.08 at 11:35 pm

I love the stockings, It is so in step and in style.

48 DaytimeDeb 01.13.08 at 11:50 pm

No, Stan, I swear, she is yours! I don’t know where those zebra legs came from — must be something on your side of the family. No, I didn’t sleep with Ed!!! Let’s go on Jerry Springer to do a DNA test, OK?

49 Kar 01.14.08 at 12:19 am

Naw, if you want DNA tests, do it properly – Maury.

“I am 99.99999% positive he is the father. Look at her! They even look the same!”

“That’s not my kid! She doesn’t even look like me! She doesn’t have my ears, my nose, my legs – uh, nevermind.”

50 berthaslave 01.14.08 at 12:32 am

Now everyone’s gonna be wearing those legwarmers again. “Girls just wanna have fu-un….”

51 Laurie C 01.14.08 at 1:07 am

I wonder if his siblings would come out the same coloring, or maybe be striper on top, brown on the bottom?

52 liz 01.14.08 at 1:30 am

iz totally a DonkZee peeps.
luvin it!

53 Squim 01.14.08 at 1:48 am

This is a very cool picture. And for some odd reason, it makes me want to be a flashier dresser…

54 Michael 01.14.08 at 4:44 am

If there are a lot of these animals, then I guess they turn out okay. But when I first saw this I was going to nominate it for “is this cute or is it sad?” because if I were that animal, I think I’d be confused. “Half of me looks like … THEM, but half of me looks like … THEM.”

55 oresnay 01.14.08 at 8:05 am

The zonkey’s not confused at all, Michael. Forcing things into pigeonholes is an almost exclusively human trait. No sad here.

56 mb 01.14.08 at 2:19 pm

Flash Dancin’ leg warmers with ear warmers to match!!!

57 indi 01.14.08 at 3:28 pm

You are neglecting those totally redonk striped ears! so prosh!

58 liz 01.14.08 at 3:53 pm

chekc out the stripey TOCKS people!
incredible!

59 Gwen Kirk 01.14.08 at 9:43 pm

I WANT ONE!

60 Rachel 01.14.08 at 11:17 pm

Hey- we actually have a similar animal here in nova scotia. we call it a zonkey. it is so cute!

61 julie 01.14.08 at 11:39 pm

Would those be shooves?

62 WickedWendy 01.15.08 at 12:52 am

That is just freakin’ weird! Cute, but weird!

63 Subhangi 01.15.08 at 5:46 am

What a beautiful little bebeh! I LOVE equines!

I hope its a natural hybrid. Can we get more info on the parents?

64 alice 01.15.08 at 10:45 am

So cool! I love it.

65 Aretha 01.17.08 at 4:28 am

“I swear to god Michael! He is yours!”

“You got drunk with DERICK didn’t you????”

“Did someone say my name? Oh, hey babycheeks!”

“Not now, Derick!”

“Mooooommmm……”

66 Brittany+Brookee+Lauren 01.17.08 at 8:31 pm
