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.

What is a Zonkey? "A zonkey is a cross between a zebra and a donkey. Donkeys are closely related to zebras and both animals belong to the horse family. Zonkeys are very rare". If you're being picky, then information from a great website, the A-Z of Animals says that it can only really be classed as a Zonkey if it is sired from a male Zebra and a female Donkey. If you have a male Donkey and female Zebra then you end up with a Zebadonk.
