The Life of Animals | Zebroid | Their nonzebra Zebroids physically resemble the parent, but are striped like a zebra. The alternative name golden zebra relates to the interaction of zebra striping and a horse's bay or chestnut color to give a zebra like black-on-bay or black on chestnut pattern That superficially resembles the quagga. In zebra-donkey hybrids, there is usually a dorsal (back) stripe and a ventral (belly) stripe.
Zorses combine the zebra striping overlaid on colored areas of the hybrid's coat. Often Bred Zorses are most using solid color horses. If the horse parent is piebald (black and white) or skewbald (other color and white) (these are known in the United States as pinto), the zorse depigmentation may inherit the dominant genes for white patches, it is understood That tobiano (the most common white modifier found in the horse) directly interacts with the zorse coat to give the white markings. Only the areas nondepigmented Will have zebra striping, resulting in a zorse with white patches and striped patches. This effect is seen in the zebroid Eclyse (a hebra rather than a zorse) born in Stukenbrock, Germany in 2007 to a zebra mare and a stallion Eclipse Called Called Ulysses.
Zebras, being wild animals, and not domesticated like horses and donkeys, pass on Their wild animal traits to Their offspring. Also, the 2007 movie I'm Reed Fish features a zorse named Zabrina. In the movie Racing Stripes, an animated zorse Appears in the alternate ending. It is the son of Stripes (a zebra) and Sandy, a gray Arabian mare. Zorses have also Appeared in books.
