Do donkeys have a cross on their back?
This is a remnant of a more stripy coat. Darwin noted the relative frequency of double shoulder stripes in donkeys and mules and all equids are prone to having stripes on their legs, especially Somali and Egyptian donkeys. A similar tendency can be seen in all species of tapir (very closely related to equids) at birth.
What is unique about a Donkey and Zebra mixed?
Donkeys and zebras, like horses, are members of the genus Equus and the family Equidae. Thus, donkeys, zebras, and horses can all reproduce and produce infirtile offspring, such as mules, zedonks, and zorses. Donkeys are frequently domesticated by man, unlike the notoriously stubborn and untameable zebra. Zebras are also famous worldwide for their iconic black and white stripes, which donkeys do not have. Donkeys are usually some shade of brown or grey, ranging from creamy tan to dark chocolate, although domestic donkies come in particolor, white, and many other unusual colors. Donkeys are generally smaller with larger ears and more placid personalities, while zebras are far more agressive. The main difference is the stripes.
