A cross between a zebra and a donkey is known as a zenkey, [4] zonkey [5] (a term also used for donkeys in Tijuana, Mexico, painted as zebras for tourists to pose with them in souvenir photos), [6] zebrass, or zedonk. [7] Donkeys are closely related to zebras and both animals belong to the horse family. These zebra–donkey hybrids are very rare.
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. Horse-donkey crosses are an exception to this naming convention. A mule is the cross between female horse and male donkey. A hinny is the cross of male horse and female donkey; mules and hinnies are reciprocal ...

Captive zebras have been bred with horses and donkeys; these are known as zebroids. 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]
In domestic horses, dun color and primitive markings exist in some animals across many breeds. [39] The purpose of the bold black-and-white striping of zebras has been a subject of debate among biologists for over a century, but 2014 evidence supports the theory that they are a form of protection from biting flies.
zebras crossed with horses are typically infertile. If I am not mistaken however, zebroid crosses between zebras and donkeys are often fertile. However these crosses are rarer since it introduces the zebra temperament with few other advantages not already possessed by the donkey. However I need a reference for this. Jeffrey L. Sadler
