Rare 'zonkey' born in China

The foal, which has the distinctive stripes of a zebra on parts of its body, was just over three feet tall and weighed approximately 4.7 stone when it was born on Sunday.

According to zoo staff, the zebra mated naturally with the donkey after being left free to roam together along with sheep in the same enclosure.

The mother required veterinary help during the birth but has now been returned to graze with her offspring where the pair are on show to visitors.
