Here's an animal you may not have seen before. It's called a zedonk and is a cross-breed between a zebra and a donkey. It is also sometimes called a zeedonk, zebronkey, zonkey, zenkey, zebadonk, zebrass, zebroid, deebra, or a Golden Zebra. When a zebra is crossed with a horse, it's a zorse. Similarly, with a pony, it's a zeony.

Zebras are very social amongst themselves. But while they have a close resemblance to horses, they have a more naturally aggressive nature toward other species, including humans. This is due to their need to survive on the African plains, primarily against the big cats. Zebras are not considered candidates for riding or any other form of human domestication. At times, their behavior is sometimes characterized as somewhat vicious.

Zedonks, conversely, can be ridden and are more donkey like in temperament, but still have much of a zebra's looks, especially those beautiful stripes. Though, ze-donk breeders contend that you must work with them frequently to maintain their trust and milder disposition or there is some reversion to a wilder animal, though less so than a purebred zebra.
