CRIMEA-ZOO-ZEBRA-DONKEY

A hybrid (R) of zebra and a donkey stands near his mother at the Taigan zoo park outside Simferopol on August 5, 2014. A Crimean zoo has welcomed into its collection a "zebroid" or "zonkey" after a zebra gave birth following befriending a donkey. Named Telegraph by the keepers at the Taigan zoo park, his head and body resemble that of a donkey and are a solid beige colour, with his legs marked by black zebra stripes. Born last week, "Telegraph is very popular with visitors" who can watch him romping around with his mother, said director Oleg Zubkov. Crosses between zebras and other members of the equine family are not unheard of, although it is more unusual that the zebra is the mother. However allowing such breeding to occur is frowned upon in the zoo community. AFP PHOTO/ YURIY LASHOV (Photo by Yuriy LASHOV / AFP) (Photo by YURIY LASHOV/AFP via Getty Images)
