"Zonkey" born in a zoo in Mexico
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...in-Mexico.html [+video]
A zonkey, a rare cross between a zebra and a donkey, has been born at a zoo in northern Mexico. Reynosa zoo in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas said the animal, which they have named Khumba was born on April 21. It said Khumba's mother is a female zebra called Rayas while the father is a dwarf, blue-eyed albino donkey named Ignacio that lives on a nearby farm. According to the zoo, Rayas used to visit Ignacio every afternoon, and eventually she got pregnant. Khumba is a rare case in the animal world because the zebra and donkey chromosomes are not compatible. |
