A zebra, which had been rescued from a failing zoo, fathered him. Owner Serena Aglietti had built a fence to separate the two animals but somehow the zebra was able to climb over the barrier to mate with the donkey. A few months later, the zonkey was born bearing the characteristics of both his parents, the New York Daily News reported. According to ANSA, the zonkey is in good health. Zonkeys, sometimes calls zedonks or zebroids, are an extremely rare sight. They are usually the love child of a male zebra and a female donkey but have the inability to reproduce, due to the incompatability of their parents' chromosomes. Another spacimen of zonkey, Pippi took birth at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve in near Dahlonega, Georgia, in 2010, CNN reported. Source-ANI
