A zeedonk (also spelled zedonk) (also known a zebrass, zebronkey, zonkey, zebadonk, zenkey or deebra) is an interspeciescross between a zebra and a donkey.
Zeedonks are interspecific hybrids bred by mating together two species from within the same genus.
Zeedonks vary considerably depending on how the genes from each parent are expressed and how they interact.

The zeedonk is the loving offspring that results when a donkey and a zebra engage in the act of physical love.
Sadly the zeedonk is a sterile animal and incapable of reproduction.
Although the zeedonk is an extremely profound creature, it is perhaps a little bit extreme to regard it as irrefutable proof of the non-existence of God.

A zeedonk (also spelled zedonk) (also known a zebrass, zebronkey, zebadonk, zenkey or deebra) is an interspeciescross between a Zebra and a Donkey.
Usually a zebra stallion is paired with a horse mare or ass mare, but in 2005, a Burchell's zebra named Allison produced a zebrass called Alex sired by a donkey at Highland plantation in St. Thomas parish, Barbados.
In Christmas week of 1975 their third zeedonk foal was born; the result of mating a donkey with different male zebras.
Since the traits of hybrid offspring often vary depending on which species was mother and which was father, it is traditional to use the father's species as the first half of the portmanteau.
Beefalo, a cross of an American Bison and a domestic cow, this is a fertile breed, despite the two species being classified in different genera (Bison and Bos, respectively).
A horse cross-bred with a zebra results in a zorse, while a donkey-zebra mix is called a zeedonk.

The zeedonk in residence is called Shadow, and unfortunately seems to be very glum and miserable most of the time.
I tried to reassure Kevin by telling him that maybe that's how all zeedonks look, and possibly Shadow was actually a very happy zeedonk, but I'm not sure he believed me. I was previously told, and can now verify, that zeedonks look like donkeys with funky stockings.
Afterwards we wandered along to the African section to find the zeedonk, and on the way bumped into an inquisitive otter who posed beautifully for the camera.
I am currently doing a school project about the 'Zeedonk' and would be pleased if anyone of you would be able to help me find any true facts about this animal.
zeedonks are well cool they look so kind and harmless but i wouldn't want to get on their bad side as those hind legs are really powerful
There is in fact a "purebred mix" dog that's the result of breeding a poodle and a shitzu.

For many of you this may actually be the first you've ever heard of this animal, but I didn't realise they were rare until a few years ago.
Unfortunately when you start talking about zeedonks to other people you get some strange looks.
Now this isn't new to me, I spent many years in my childhood with even my family refusing to believe me when I said there was such a thing as a labradoodle.

ZZ Top the zeedonk is also on a five-bottle-a-day schedule and is estimated to be about 150 pounds.
The zebra trainer was so impressed he sent the Lyons home with one of his charges - ZZ Top.
For the road home the Lyons actually bought Java, a tiny baby goat, on the zeedonk's behalf, so he would have someone to curl up and bond with during the trip.

Instead Kevin suggested a mystery visit elsewhere (and then asked me to choose between a vague destination which wasn't decided in the slightest, or a mystery location of which I was unaware :-)).
I inadvertantly guessed the right answer — ColchesterZoo, where there resides a zeedonk.

Evidently horses and donkeys should really be grouped together as varieties of the same single species!
Another case that highlights this same difficulty of knowing species boundaries is the case of the "zeedonk." The "zeedonk" is a cross between a zebra and a donkey.
The zebra and donkey are considered different species, and though they do not usually interbreed, it is possible.
