It is an unusual story that came from Blackman-Leoni Township in Michigan on Tuesday April 22 where residents reported seeing a zedonk which is a hybrid animal with a donkey dad and a zebra mother had gotten away from a local farm that raises hybrid animals by accident. The zedonk was seen close to a resident near the farm when the zedonk was seen in a pasture north of the road where the zedonk was blocking traffic for a short while before the local police arrived to return the zedonk back to is owner safely. I have heard of mixed breed animals like cats and dogs but this the first time I have heard of a mixture of donkeys and zebras. Link is upi.com/3771745419533 via @upi

I have heard of zebras mixed with horses but not donkeys

You are right since I have never heard of donkeys and zebras mixed either.

That is interesting glad the zedonk got home, I wonder how a zebra falls in love with a donkey or vice versa

That is a good question since I have noticed that in litters of cats and dogs, they look different even though they are from the same litter.

It was good the zedonk was captured before it zedonked itself in the traffic.
