What happens when you cross a zebra with a tub of bleach?
I’m kidding, of course. Nothing happens. The real question is, what happens when you cross a zebra with a horse? The answer is obvious: A zorse!

Zorses aren’t a new species. Many have been breed over the years for novelty’s sake, and they’re a bit easier to ride than the notoriously free-spirited zebra. It was this same free spirit that created little Eclyse when her mother, a German zebra, was loaned to an Italian ranch where she roamed free with both zebras and horses. When the zebra returned to Germany, she had a bit of explaining to do.
Although Eclyse may be an international celebrity, she is also the loneliest zorse in the world. As the video points out, other zebras won’t socialize with her, and she’s as sterile as a mule. But maybe if they put her out to pasture with a rhinoceros, miracles could happen and one thing could lead to… a zorsicorn!
