BERLIN (AFP) - A zebrula -- a cross between a horse and a zebra -- has drawn curious onlookers to a zoo in Germany because of its unusual coat.
While zebrulas have been in existence since the 19th century, this one is particularly unique: its coat is sharply divided between horse and zebra, says Safaripark, a zoo near northern Guetersloh.
The animal, which is slightly more than a year old and is named Eclyse, has a zebra head, while the first half of the rest of its body is white and the second half is zebra-colored.
It arrived at the zoo three weeks ago from Italy.
When asked to comment, the zebrula said, "Nay."
What's an Italian horse/zebra thingy doing in Germany? Remember the last time the Italians and Germans worked together? If someone brings in a Japanese donkey, I'll be really worried.
You'd think the article would have mentioned that the damn thing is multi-lingual and obvisouly fairly tech/net savvy- that's kinda more impressive than the stupid pattern on 'im eh??
