A very rare animal — a Zonkey, the hybrid between a male zebra and a female donkey — was recently born at an animal reserve in Italy, just outside of the city of Florence. And we have pictures of the interesting looking animal. Enjoy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Zonkey<\/a><\/p>\n

The young zonkey — which has been named Ippo by the humans at the reserve — is in good health according to local reports. Something to note — the zonkey wasn’t bred intentionally, the male zebra escaped from its enclosure and jumped a fence in order to get to the female donkey.<\/p>\n

The animal reserve doesn’t do much intentional breeding at all really, more just serving as a place that can take in animals seized by police, injured, etc.<\/p>\n

While zonkeys perhaps physically resemble donkeys more than they do zebras — it’s been noted that they generally possess the temper and temperament of zebras.<\/p>\n
