Very nice article! You can clearly see the differences in striping pattern and conformation between the zedonk from a plains zebra sire #2 and #3 and a Grevy zebra sire #1, #4, and #5. Check out more info about zebra hybrids on The American Donkey and Mule Society website. There is actually quite a bit of history behind breeding and using them.

In reply to yupitsme. Well it's also because a couple of reasons. One, some zebra specious are on the endagered list, and if they're going to breed them to a non Zebra, they'd spare a stallion that breed with a lot of mares, where a female Zebra could only carry one foal each breeding season. Also, if the mother is domesticated, rather than a wild Zebra, the foal will be easier to handle cause he learns habits from his mother.
