zonkey
Zebra-donkey offspring
A zonkey is a hybrid animal produced by crossing a zebra with a donkey.
Like most equine hybrids, zonkeys are typically sterile.
They usually display a mix of donkey coloring with zebra-like stripes, often most visible on the legs.
The word blends zebra and donkey.
Also called a zedonk or zebroid.
