A female zebra named Allison frolicking with her foal named Alex at the Highland plantation in St. Thomas parish, Barbados.

Best animal hybrid: LIGERS.

[Not A Snowbird]

Aw, he's adorable.

The Zonkey is cute. Poor thing can't hide in the trees/grass as well as it's mother, though. Those stripes are there for a reason. 'Course if it's in captivity...

[Wiseghy]

I was under the impression that Zebras and Donkey's were closely related, with similar temperaments.

[najida]

Oh my! He's sooo cute!

But will he be teased for wearing striped stockings?

Call It Zonkey or a Deebra?

If they can teach it to invent nonsensical news stories, they can call it Debka.

[xcamel]

They aren't new - allways known as a "ZeeDonk"

[Miss Behave]

I prefer Ligers.

Hey Fierce, what was your old tag? Something about Zebras being the free range bar codes of the Serengeti?

[Fester Chugabrew]

From an onomatopoetic, aesthetic, and comedic standpoint "zonkey" beats "deebra" hands down.

Let me tell you what a jackass your father was.

[MississippyMuddy]

A zonkey? A deebra?

It doesn't matter, it's too cute for words ;-)

[VermiciousKnid]

Ringling Brothers has several of these animals that travel with the circus.

FWIW, they call them "Zonkeys."

I just think they're cute.

Zebras are nasty enough without putting donkey blood in them.

[eccentric]

A mule (hybrid of a horse and ass) is un-sexed, sterile. Is this zebra/donkey cross going to be able to sire offspring?

[Mike Darancette]

They got those things all around Tiajuana.

The Sesame Street Song... keeps running through my head....

One of these is not like the other one...

Hmmmmm. I remember seeing one of those in my Weekly Reader when I was in first grade. That puts it around 1973/74. I remember back then, they gave her the name "Debra" for Donkey/zEBRA, so I guess at that time, they called them "Deebras." "Zonkey" would be cool too but it reminds me of the old Monty Hall show, "Let's Make a Deal" when a contestant opened Door #2 and got a "Zonkey" (Donkey as a "zonk" prize) to take home. B-) A little over 30 years later, it seems like what is old is new again.
