‘Zonkeys’ exist, and they’re amazing





A zoo in Mexico has welcomed into the world a ‘zonkey’: a rare cross between a zebra and a donkey.
Named Khumba, the hybrid animal seen in the video was born on April 21 at Reynosa zoo, in the north-eastern state of Tamaulipas.
Khumba’s mother is a zebra called Rayas, whilst the father is a dwarf, blue-eyed albino donkey named Ignacio that lives on a nearby farm.
According to the zoo, Khumba is a rare case in the animal world because the zebra and donkey chromosomes are not compatible.
