A zorse is the offspring of a zebra stallion and a horse mare. This cross is also called a zebrose, zebrula, zebrule, or zebra mule. The rarer reverse pairing is sometimes called a hebra, horsebra, zebrinny, or zebra hinny. Like most other animal hybrids, the zorse is sterile. [2] A zony is the offspring of a zebra stallion and a pony mare.
A zorse is a cross between a zebra and a horse; a zonkey, between a zebra and a donkey; and a zoni, between a zebra and a pony. Zebroids are often born sterile with dwarfism . [ 42 ]
The quagga was the first extinct animal to have its DNA analysed, [17] and this 1984 study launched the field of ancient DNA analysis. It confirmed that the quagga was more closely related to zebras than to horses, [ 18 ] with the quagga and mountain zebra ( Equus zebra ) sharing an ancestor 3–4 million years ago. [ 17 ]
Hybrids are named based on the sex and species of the parents. Hybrids are typically given a portmanteau name, combining the first half of the father’s name and the second half of the mother's name. For example, the cross between a male zebra and a female horse is a zorse. A cross between a male zebra and a female donkey is a zonkey.
Other hybrids include the zorse, a cross between a zebra and a horse [30] and a zonkey or zedonk, a hybrid of a zebra and a donkey. [31] In areas where Grévy's zebras are sympatric with plains zebras, fertile hybrids do occur. [32] Ancient DNA identifies the Bronze Age kunga as a cross between the Syrian wild ass and the donkey.
