Adorable Italian Zonkey Is Half Zebra, Half Donkey

In these photos, taken at an animal reserve in Florence, Italy, she is 4 months old. A little over a year ago, her dad Martin the Zebra jumped a fence dividing him from the donkeys on the reserve. As he trespassed, he met Giada the donkey. And here is the adorable aftermath of this rare rendezvous.

Though it is often a successful pregnancy that births a healthy zonkey baby, zebra and donkey matings are few and far between. As the story goes for Ippo's parents, they met at an animal reserve in Florence when one day Martin the zebra jumped the fence and crossed over to the endangered donkey of Amiata area and mated with Giada the donkey. Twelve months later, Giada gave birth to the adorable Ippo!
