zeedonks: no longer a mythical creature

Posted by Rob on - 110 comments

Mr. Pony seemed upsetIn England, a Pony who had an "exotic past in a wildlife park" gave birth to what scientists call a "Zeedonk".

I for one think it's cute. Too bad about the scientist's name, 'Shebra' is much cooler. Here's hoping that someday well discover a squoctopus...

Steven Garrity -

Zeedonk?!? Thanks totally lame. Then again, I was always one for Yakabuff over Beefalo.

adam gallant -

i don't know about you, but I think we should classify rob and steven as nunny's.

I don't get it -- it's part zebra, part Shetland Pony. What's with "donk," which, let's face it, can't be elegantly married with anything...

Jeff Coll -

If you read the article, then you will see that the half-zebra foal is not in fact referred to as a zeedonk. The article merely mentions them as examples of zebra half-breeds. The half-breed has not yet been given an official name. Following the same format as <i>zeedonk</i>, however, it will probably be called a zeepo. Sounds like a Marx Brother to me.

Rob -

So I skimmed it and misrepresented the truth. As a journalist with a high traffic web site it's important to get the news out there no matter how incorrect it is before everybody's talking about it. That gives me the rights to cut a few corners on such earth rocking stories like a zebra knocking up a pony.<P><P>If you read this on AOV (or Canoe) before 6pm AST then we have successfully scooped Canada Now, shifting the power to you, the readers.<P><P>You're welcome.<P><P>Would the <b><I>shebra</i></b> neigh like a pony or bark like a zebra?

Matthew -

I saw a Zonkey (zebra/donkey) at a lame zoo, the location of which I forget. The name is more impressive than the animal. This particular naming convention is pretty poor anyway - what will they call the donkey/monkey crossbreed? (The obvious choice: "Goddamn! That thing threw shit at me, then kicked me in the groin! Get it off of the porch, and put the leash back on it!" is just too long).

Erin -

I was under the impression that it was called a Zetland - zebra and shetland...not that this name is much better...

Jeff Coll -

Did anybody else find it funny that <i>zeedonk</i> has two <i>e</i>'s in it? I mean, <i>zebra</i> only has one <i>e</i> so why would <i>zeedonk</i> be any different? Well, it isn't. It's <i>zedonk</i>. One <i>e</i>. I looked it up on dictionary.com so it must be true.

There is no reference to <i>zonkey</i>

Kirby -

Sounds like the zebra is the casanova of the wildlife preserve...

Jevon MacDonald -

Steve "Zebra" Garrity..

Now it all makes so much sense.

linzi miller -

zeedonks are really nice and they look really kind they look really nice to be a house pet

sian and amy -

zeedonks may be cute but what happens if they start cross breeding humans would we have manwo's or boirls it wouold be a real catastrophe - Sian

i think that the zeedonks and ligers are cute but wot is the point it is cruel - amy (very angry)

Beth -

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. As we all know, yes its mother and farther was donkey and the other a zebra but any other useful information would be helpful. Hope to here from you soon!

Beth -

information needed before 10th October

ace -

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. What is it? A shitpoo. I kid you not.

pendragon -

ben is right,look it up.

Jen -

I think that zeedonks are the coolest animals alive. If anyone disagrees then you are wrong.

Rob Fletcher -

A killer whale has knocked up a dolphin!

Wolphins are now roaming the seas at large!

Jessica -
