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] |

A bichon is a distinct type of toy dog; it is typically kept as a companion dog
A bichon is a distinct type of toy dog; it is typically kept as a companion dog. Believed to be descended from the Barbet, it is believed the bichon-type dates to at least the 11th century; it was relatively common in 14th-century France, where they were kept as pets of the royalty and aristocracy.[1][2] From France, these dogs spread throughout the courts of Europe, with dogs of very similar form being seen in a number of portraits of the upper classes of Germany, Portugal and Spain; from Europe, the type also spread to colonies in Africa and South America.[2][3] The name "bichon" is believed to be a contraction of "barbichon", which means "little barbet".[4] |
