Yesterday, Miss Cellania posted a neat photo of the Zorse, which got me thinkin' whatabout the cross between a zebra and a donkey: the Zonkey? Link

Then what happens when they cross a Monkey and a Zerbra?

There is a small farm in Kansas, near some friends of mine, that has at least a dozen Zonkeys and at least one zebra. I go visit each year and they take me to see them. They are adorable and very friendly.

I've seen a zedonk before. They exist. They are also called zeedonks, zebronkey, etc. There is a nice article on Wikipedia. They had a zedonk at our county fair.

Female horse + male donkey = mule
Male horse + female donkey = hinny.

From the wikipedia entry on hinny:

Hinnies are similar to mules in that they are generally more intelligent than horses, and more cooperative than donkeys.

Hinnies are also notoriously weaker than the mule, though, and a lot of times that's why a mule is more valuable to a farmer (or would have been, at least) if they're not called upon to do tasks that involve much thinking.

Zorses are hybrids and generally sterile...but yes, the zonkey is a neat idea.
