Animal breeders often experiment with breeding similar species in their care, sometimes for specific reasons, and sometimes it happens by accident.
A zorse is what you get when you mix a mare (female horse) and a male zebra. They're also known as zebroids.
People first tried to breed zebras and horses to make smaller versions of horses that were easier to ride.
Africans still use zebroids as pack animals. Their strength allows them to carry a lot of weight long distances without getting tired or sick.
Many zebroids have striped heads and hindquarters. Their mid-sections look more like a horse's, and the color and coat will depend on the father's or mother's.
