It's an amazing zebra crossing!

ECLYSE THE ZORSE

What do you get when you cross a zebra with a horse? Why, a zorse of course!

Zorses, or zebroids, are normally stripy all over and have a zebra dad and a horse for a mum, but a zorse at a zoo in Germany is changing all that.

Eclyse the zorse is a bit different because her mum's a German zebra and her dad's an Italian horse, giving her a patchy coat that's stripy AND plain.

Vets are worried that other zebras won't accept Eclyse so they're looking for a boy pony to share her field.
