kenya-Zebra Gives Birth to Rare Baby ‘Zonkey’ After finding her “amorous donkey”

A rare baby “zonkey” has been spotted in a Kenyan national park.

No, not a donkey, a zonkey with a “zed.”

The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust says its mother, a zebra, attracted the attention of a quote “amorous donkey”.

The charity believes it must have happened a year ago when the zebra ventured into a community bordering the Tsavo East National Park.

A zebra’s gestation period is 12 months, and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust said it wasn’t difficult to join the dots.

A zonkey is a highly unusual hybrid with the sturdy body of a donkey and the striped legs of a zebra.

The charity said mother and baby seem to be in perfect shape and were grazing calmly in their new home, in Chyulu National Park.
