 When Zebras and Horses Have Unprotected Sex A zorse is what happened in a German safari park when a zebra named Ulysses got hot to trot for a horse named Eclipse. To the park keepers’ surprise Eclyse the zorse was born and she is rare even among zorses. Zorses tend to have stripes on their entire bodies (see Gallery) not in patches like her. She is a real hit and now all the kinder want one.  It has to be the ultimate zebra crossing.
Eclyse the zorse is striking proof of how an offspring inherits genes from both parents - which in her case was a male zebra and a female horse. The result is shown in her amazing coat which looks like a zebra's that has been partly covered in white paint.
Eclyse has become a major attraction at her home safari park at Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, near the German border with Holland.
In Africa, horses and zebras are often crossbred and used as trekking animals.
AdvertisementHybrids are an interesting curiosity. The mule is perhaps the most famous cross - a combination between a horse and a donkey - and an animal of economic importance because it is a hard worker.
