Zeedonk Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
A
zeedonk (also called similar names including
zebrass,
zebronkey or
zenkey) is a
mixed breed animal, a cross between a
zebra and a
donkey. Donkeys are closely related to zebras and belong to the same horse family. Zeedonks are very rare.
Colchester Zoo in
Essex claims to have produced the first zeedonk in 1971. A zeedonk is still exhibited at Colchester, but they now have a policy of preventing interbreeding and so will not be breeding more.
In South Africa they are called a zonkey and are fairly common where zebras and donkeys are found in close proximity. Like mules, however, they cannot breed, due to an odd number of chromosomes.
