Hello everyone, in this video I wanted to compare 3 of my favorite fruits part of the #Annonaceae family that often get confused for one another. The Annonaceae family is known for its fruits that consist of a ‘custard’ taste and for its unique & symmetrical fruits that are produced. Not only are these fruits attractive to the eye but are prized for there sweet and exotic taste that rivals to no other fruit on earth. The sugar apple (A. squamosa) is known for its bumpy surface and creamy white inside accompanied by many seeds. Sugar apple is unique with its chewy texture and juicy flavor. A. cherimola or Cherimoya is better recognized for its smooth and scaled surface usually the shape of a heart. The inside is noticeably different as it is usually smoother profile than the sugar apple and stays together when eating. A. muricata or Soursop (Guanábana) is notorious for its size and shape. The fruit bears tiny spikes that are soft to the touch - but it’s size is goliath compared to that of the sugar apple and cherimoya. The soursop is also prized for its healing properties that are abundant in the fruit. Out of the three Annonas compared I like soursop(Guanabana) due to the amount of fruit (pulp) you are able to extract and use for juices for the following days - one of these fruits can feed a whole family.

Hybrid (biology)
In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual reproduction. Generally, it means that each cell has genetic material from two different organisms, whereas an individual where some cells are derived from a different organism is called a chimera.[1] Hybrids are not always intermediates between their parents such as in blending inheritance (a now discredited theory in modern genetics by particulate inheritance), but can show hybrid vigor, sometimes growing larger or taller than either parent. The concept of a hybrid is interpreted differently in animal and plant breeding, where there is interest in the individual parentage. In genetics, attention is focused on the numbers of chromosomes. In taxonomy, a key question is how closely related the parent species are.[clarification needed] |

The donkey or ass is a domesticated equine.
The donkey or ass is a domesticated equine. It derives from the African wild ass, Equus africanus, and may be classified either as a subspecies thereof, Equus africanus asinus, or as a separate species, Equus asinus.[1]: 1 It was domesticated in Africa some 5000–7000 years ago,[1]: 2 [2]: 3715 [3] and has been used mainly as a working animal since that time. |

Zonkey (Tijuana)
Zonkeys in Tijuana, Mexico are donkeys (also known as burros in Mexico and the Southwestern United States; burro is the Spanish word for donkey) painted with fake zebra stripes, so that tourists will pay the owner to appear in souvenir photos with them.[1] They should not be confused with zebroids, zebra hybrids which are also sometimes called zonkeys. |

Als Zebroide werden Hybriden innerhalb der Gattung Pferde aus Kreuzungen zwischen einem Zebra und einer anderen Pferdeart bezeichnet
Als Zebroide werden Hybriden innerhalb der Gattung Pferde aus Kreuzungen zwischen einem Zebra und einer anderen Pferdeart bezeichnet. Aus praktischen Gründen (einfachere Aufzucht) wird dabei als Vater meist ein Zebra verwendet. Wie die meisten Hybriden aus verschiedenen Arten, wie Maultiere und Maulesel, sind auch Zebroide meist nicht fortpflanzungsfähig. |

A zebroid is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine to create a hybrid
A zebroid is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine to create a hybrid. In most cases, the sire is a zebra stallion but not every time. The offspring of a donkey sire and zebra dam, called a donkra, and the offspring of a horse sire and a zebra dam, called a hebra, do exist, but are rare and are usually sterile. Zebroids have been bred since the 19th century. Charles Darwin noted several zebra hybrids in his works.[1] |
