NMR: Crossbreeding animals

Promethium · **Posted:** Thu Mar 16, 2006 5:00 pm

We have the Shrine Circus this week at the arena I work at, and the Circus people have this thing called a Zedonk. It is a donkey bred with a zebra to have stripes. It is kind of disturbing and freaks me out a bit. I don't know why you would crossbreed those two and I wonder if those animals actually mated with each other. It just makes me cringe to think about it.

i don't think it's that disturbing if they don't have to genetically modify them in order to get it to work.

I think it creeps me out due to the fact the thing is about 3.5ft tall and looks exactly like a Zebra. It just doesn't seem natural

"doesn't seem natural" is the circus' middle name

If the one in that pic is only 3.5 tall, must be Billy Barty riding it.

I wonder why they decided they decided Zedonk was a better name than Zebronkey.
