A zedonk, a rare cross between a donkey and a zebra, is attracting attention at the Chestatee Wildlife Preserve in Dahlonega, Georgia, after being born there about a week ago. The animal, which has a zebra father and donkey mother, has black stripes prominently displayed on her legs and face. C.W. Wathen, the preserve’s founder and general manager, said the foal has zebra instincts. Wathen said she sits up instead of lying on her side like a foal, as if she’s staying alert for predators. Donkeys and zebras don’t usually mate, but zedonks turn up occasionally.
