Yes, that is right, a Zorse. In the Hobart Mercury (the local newspaper) was a story of a Zorse. It was a cross between a Zebra and a Horse, kind of like a Tion (Tiger & Lion), or Liger (Lion & Tiger). Apparently the zebra came away for a bit of a holiday and got more than she bargained for. The picture showed a Zebra's head, then mainly white, and a Zebra's back half. Curious.

I saw this on TV. The horse/zebra loked quite startling. Actually it was very attractive. I was surprised that two different species would mate at all. Apparently the hoprse & zebra are closely related, but if they mate, the offspring are almost certainly sterile.

Wow thats strange and cruel at the same time...They mix dogs all the time that become mutts, why would they think about mixing horses its not for any good benefits.

When I first read this I thought you were kidding. I would love to see a picture of it. That to me sounds amazing.
