4隻腳是斑馬的花紋,身體是驢子的身體,這可不是電腦合成的動物,而是驢子與斑馬所生下的小寶寶「斑驢」伊波(Ippo),才出生三個月的牠立刻成為義大利佛羅倫斯農場明星,不僅大家爭相拍照,連玩具公司也相中前來談肖像合作案。

小斑驢是出生在義大利佛羅倫斯的某間農場,目前農場裡已經超過170隻以上的動物,牠爸爸是動物園裡的斑馬(馬丁)、媽媽則品種稀少高貴的阿米亞塔驢(Amiata, Italy)。

農場主人的女兒阿格列帝(Serena Aglietti)說,去年一個舒適宜人的夜晚,斑馬馬丁竟跳過畜欄圍籬,用鼻子移開馬廄門閂,向關在裡頭的驢子求愛,過一陣子,驢子就懷孕了,生下Ippo。

阿格列帝回憶伊波剛出生的場景,牠是黑色的蹄先出來,然後是斑紋腿。現在伊波狀況良好,現在還在喝牛奶,但也會吃胡蘿蔔。



Meet Ippo the 'Zonkey': Rare foal was born after a zebra climbed a fence to mate with an endangered donkey

A rare 'zonkey' - the offspring of a male zebra and a female donkey - has been born at an animal reserve in Florence, Italy.

Adorable Ippo, who has the colouring of a donkey but the distinctive stripes of a zebra, is reported to be in good health.

Her incredible conception is an example of love - or perhaps simple lust - conquering all.


Ippo is a rare zonkey - the offspring of a zebra father and a donkey mother. She has characteristics of both her parents' species


Against all odds: Ippo came into being after a zebra at an animal reserve in Florence, Italy, climbed his protective fence and had sex with a donkey

The zebra, who was rescued from a failing zoo, was so randy that he climbed his protective fence and made love to a Donkey of Amiata, an endangered species, in a neighboring field.

Serena Aglietti, one of the employees at the reserve, told ABC, 'Ippo is the only one of her kind in Italy.'

A zonkey is a type of zebroid, the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine. In the majority of cases, the sire is a zebra stallion.

A zorse is the offspring of a male zebra and a female horse, while a zony is the offspring of a zebra stallion and a pony mare and can even be ridden.


Family: Ippo with her mother and father


Like mules, zonkeys are generally genetically unable to breed, due to an odd number of chromosomes

Like mules, however, they are generally genetically unable to breed, due to an odd number of chromosomes.
Offspring of a male donkey and a female zebra are called a zebra hinny, or donkra, but are incredibly rare.

Although rare, there are a few notable zonkies around the world. A donkey sanctuary in Shropshire boasts a a zorse called Zulu, Zambi a zonkey and Zee the donkra.

Amanda Bell, who runs Donkey Rescue UK, has helped rescue more than 50 donkeys taking in injured or badly treated animals from all over Europe.


Who you calling stripey? Zee the zedonk, left, and Zambi the zonkey look more like donkeys, but have a zebra's temper, keepers say


Although rare, there are a few notable zonkeys around the world.

The 32-year-old mother of two said: 'I don't necessarily agree with breeding these hybrids but they needed rescuing so we took them on.

'They were bred in America and imported to the UK. They are fascinating creatures.
'The zorse can be ridden like a horse but has the senses of a zebra.
'If a vet has a syringe in their pocket it will go mad even though it can't see it - a zebra will do that too.'
The Chestatee Wildlife Preserve in Georgia, U.S. had its own zonkey on July 21, 2010.

这种结合不知是可爱还是悲哀, 动物没了自已的自然保护基因, 还能在自然界生存吗?

They look funny & lovely however, mankind seems to abuse the genetic hence to cause unpleasant consequences! I propose naturalism any kind of clone is not my cup of tea!
