From above the haunches, this six-day-old foal looks every bit a donkey as she plays with her mother.

But the striped legs are a sure giveaway that something is a bit different about her.

In fact the youngster - already named Pippi Longstockings after the children's books is a zedonk. With its zebra father, she joins the likes of mules (horses and donkeys) and ligers (lions and tigers) as the latest hybrid.

This happened in the State where I live, North Georgia to be exact. I hope they were not bred just for the notoriety, especially if the little one has problems later on :(
