Zonkey

What is a "zonkey"?

A zonkey is a hybrid animal that is created by breeding a zebra and a donkey. They inherit physical traits from both parents, with a distinctive striped coat that resembles that of a zebra, and the body shape and temperament of a donkey. Zonkeys are typically smaller than horses, standing between 10 and 14 hands tall and weighing up to 500 pounds. They are known for their intelligence and hardiness and can adapt well to a variety of environments. Because they are hybrid animals, they are usually sterile and cannot produce offspring of their own. Zonkeys are rare and unique animals and are often kept as exotic pets or used in zoological exhibits to educate the public about animal hybrids and genetics.
