Jun 28 2007Zorse is half zebra half horse

From The Sun:
Dad was a zebra stallion, mum was a horse ... so their odd-looking offspring is known as a zorse. The animal, called Eclyse, can be seen at a safari park in Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany.
I had sex with a fish once. The results weren't nearly as pretty.
NOTE: Did I seriously just make up a story that I had sex with a fish? I need to lie down.

I would've called it a Hebra, or a Shebra, as the case may be.

I <3 hybrid animals. Since I also think Zebras are the coolest thing on four legs, I'll have to let this one be my favorite. See you later, wolphin.

Definitely not photoshopped, unless it's a massive hoax. The story was covered by some pretty major news sites yesterday and it's an AP photo.

Photoshopped or not, at least their are Ligers. And the presence of Ligers confirms what I was already thinking: Damn, nature is more perverted than me.
9. Kat - June 28, 2007 2:23 PM
Yeah, I've seen others as well. Like I said, I love hybrid animals. ^_^;; This particular one is located at the a zoo in Schloss Holte Stukenbrock, according to the news reports. The zoo's website isn't in english (http://www.safaripark-stukenbrock.de/) but they have a story about it as well. I suppose it could be an elaborate hoax created by the zoo, but that's kind of far fetched. For now, I'm going to go with this picture being real. I tried to find some video of Eclyse, but no luck. Not only could I be sure then, but I'd just like to see more of it. So cool!
Zedonks are cuter, though.

#7, there is an animal in that main pic. Cause all I see is an incredibly hot rider. Yee ha!
And this in no way compares to my Pengodile! Do you have any idea how many penguins I lost before the corc would mate with one?

I find it limitlessly upsetting that there are actually people registered and posting on The Sun's website.
14. raff - June 28, 2007 4:40 PM
"Zorse" because "Horsbra" would be inappropriate.
15. Amy - June 28, 2007 4:41 PM
Did you name your offspring Superfish by any chance?
16. raff - June 28, 2007 4:51 PM
I knew a guy whose mother was an analyst & his father was a therapist. I guess that made him an analrapist.
(*cough*)

I once crossed an armadillo with a vibrator... I called it an armadildo.

That picture of a zorse is almost definitely photoshopped (a crossbreeds fur wouldn't seperate itself into two both zebra and horse like that, it could mix the fur all over body) but there are real zorses:http://www.spotsnstripes.com/PhotoAlbum4Zorses.htm
20. Ed - June 28, 2007 6:18 PM
I doubt its photoshopped judging by the sources...
Also, animals have been know to separate characteristics during hybridization like that and it's not that unlikely. Take a look at some ursine hyrbrids for example or even certain Zebra hybrids (Zeedonkeys...) I don't get why people automatically say it's photoshopped when they see something weird and unexpected...
21. BNew - June 28, 2007 7:24 PM
FAKE!

It LOOKS photoshopped, but I'm not quite that it is.

26. I can't believe it's not zebra - June 28, 2007 10:20 PM
If there were lions at the safari park, the keepers could get them to do a taste test on this curious fellow, and thus see if it's really a zebra, a horse, or a chimera as advertised.
I presume that horse and zebra taste different. Anyone know?
27. Maddy - June 29, 2007 12:54 AM
it doesn`t even look realistically real. that animal doesn`t exist.

wd-40 and Maddy have been black listed. if they ever double post again, they will be DP'd by 2 Zorses.
#16, nice AD reference, shame you ruined the joke, it's a sight gag. not simply a play on words.

This thing is definitely real. I saw a news story on it this morning, yes with video and everything.
32. drew - June 29, 2007 4:08 AM
That one looks reeediculous, but there was a naturally existing cross breed called a 'Kwagga', in Southern Africa many years ago.
It's extinct now.
But it existed.
33. Jesse - June 29, 2007 1:38 PM
i've done better in Photoshop!
33rd!!
34. Sierra Sandler - July 1, 2007 2:26 PM
Although many may be thinking this is photoshopped, it's not. The Zorse, or it's proper name, "Zebroid," is a real animal and is bred throughout america and the world. You can find breeders in almost any state.
35. Jon - July 1, 2007 6:40 PM
Yeah, they exist. But they sure as hell don't look like that.
36. DJ - July 1, 2007 11:28 PM

I find it amusing how there are people who think they can spot a photoshop job anywhere and love to post "ugh tooootally photoshopped you sillies" and sit back and chuckle at all the people who posted thinking it was real.
...And then as it turns out it's not a photoshop job at all.
"Worst photoshop ever."

Wiki sees all and knows all, so it ain't a fake folks.
P.S. I think I'm in love with Raff. Analrapist, that kills me!
46. Tina - July 4, 2007 1:08 AM
Blitzenoia, cool link you posted. But, if you look on page 5, there is an Appy Zorse that is almost all white, with dark, striped spots.
47. Tina - July 4, 2007 1:09 AM
Oh, and check out page 6. A Zorse almost exactly like the one posted here.

55. psychret - October 6, 2007 7:58 PM
This is what happens when you cross a paint or pinto horse with a zebra. And if you cross a homozygous paint or pinto horse with a zebra, you will get this every time. So no, not a fake, definitely possible, for those who are so skeptical about the strange. Brindling, while rare, can also occur in horses as well.
56. Laura - October 15, 2007 1:00 PM
It's amazing how many people think this is photoshopped-look up a Zorse web site and look at other pictures and descriptions-its just not a well-known phenomenon

I am a fan of all animals. I especially like horses and zebras and this is a beautiful combination!!!!
60. Jamie-Leigh Mackintosh - March 8, 2008 6:20 AM
Humans have already made some animals extinct and breeding things with different species just isn't right. I mean take the Liger for instance, if one of those got into the wild other animals wouldn't have a chance.
61. Alex - March 10, 2008 10:12 AM
WELL I THINK THAT IT IS REAL SO, BITE ME!
62. hotshot - June 26, 2008 6:45 PM
that's not a real zorse. It doesn't even have a horn
63. paige - June 30, 2008 11:41 AM
Its not photoshopped im actually sitting in biology class right now asking about it. its called postzygotic. they are able to mate but this zorse can not produce offspring. you have to go back to the start to make another zorse. 2 zorses can not produce another one. but its real, this can be done.
64. Kapil - July 10, 2008 8:04 AM
This is definately a very very cute animal .
