zedonk

Donkey-zebra offspring

A zedonk is a hybrid animal produced by crossing a zebra with a donkey.

Like other zebra hybrids (zorses, zonies), zedonks typically inherit striped legs from the zebra parent while the body resembles the donkey's.

They're sterile and exist mainly in zoos or as novelties.

Also called zonkey or zebroid.
