Though there are physical differences (such as size and weight), behavioral differences (social structure of the herd) and genetic differences, they are somewhat related.

The first zeedonk was born in the Colchester Zoo in Essex, England.
A zebra's natural habitat is out in the wild - e.g. Africa or a place with long wide grassy fields.
A horse can go anywhere because it was used originally for riding.

performances. For obvious reasons, they require an experienced adult rider and
