Zebra + donkey = ?


Zenkey? Donbra? The guys from Chestatee Wildlife Preserve, where it was born, call it the 'zedonk'.It turns out, the zebra/donkey romance has been many years in the making, though somehow the twin managed to keep it the secret. "The animals have been using (in the fields) together for some-more than 40 years, though this is the first time which this has happened here," says the preserve's founder. "We never suspected which they (had mated), so it was utterly the surprise when the zedonk was born."

While the mating may have been the well-kept secret, there's small poser about which characteristics the baby zedonk inherited from her zebra father and which came from her dickey mother. With the particular black stripes of the zebra on her legs and face, and the slight conduct of the donkey, the wildlife preserve's newest resident looks to be the undiluted hybrid.
