A zorse?!

I saw the craziest thing on the news this morning...a zorse! It's a cross between a zebra and a horse. Zorses result from zebra stallions being bred to horse mares. The one I saw on the news this morning, from a safari park in Germany, has stripes in some parts of its coat and pure white in others. From a quick search of the internet, however, it seems like in most cases the zorse gets the coat color of its mother and the zebra stripes of its father all over. There's even an International Zebra-Zorse-Zonkey Association!

And yes, that's right. It's not just zorses that can be bred. There are zonkeys (cross between a zebra and a donkey) and hebras (cross between a zebra mare and horse stallion).

I wonder what they'd make of a zorse in Samburu?!
