Here's a few differences between Australopithicus afarensis and apes:

  • The lateral corner of the supraorbital torus is vertically thicker than both common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus).
  • The roof of the supraorbital torus slopes evenly up the frontal squama, rather than being separated by a sulcus, which is common in the African apes.
  • The bone of the squama is thicker than the African apes.
  • The outside of the squama that forms the internal wall of the temporal fossa slopes inward toward the midline, rather than being vertical as in the African apes.
  • The upper border of this sloping internal wall ends in a temporal line that runs parallel to the back of the supraorbital torus and then angles strongly towards the midline rather than swinging backward at the outside corner of the supraorbital torus and not parallel to it, as in the African apes.

What do you get when you cross a zebra an an ape man?

This is impossible in nature. It is rare that different species would interbreed, but zebras and "ape men" (I'll assume you meant primates) are in different orders. The only thing they have in common is being a mammal. Since they don't breed, there is no way of noing what would happen in an interspecies cross.
