Zonkeys and Ligers and Tigons, oh my

This pumpkin farm near my school has a zonkey (zebra/donkey cross) that they let people come see. How weird looking!!! The farmer said he got him from some Amish people--that the Amish are really into crossing various animals. (Huh? The Amish?)

Has anyone else heard that? And has anyone seen other crosses, like ligers and tigons?

It's better than in the south, where they cross humans and pigs.

I read the title and thought someone had been having a TGIF BOTTOMS UP PARTY, but alas. . .

I have heard of ligers and tigons, but not wolphins and zonkeys! Strange!

I saw the wholphin at Sea Life Park in Honolulu a few years back. He was short and black! The zonkey had the body and features of a donkey but the striped pattern of a zebra.

Our daughter, who is now a commercial artist, used to draw a really cute little cartoon type character when she was young. She called it a Tigon.

I really doubt that the Amish were being the cross breeding. From what I understand, they don't even mix fabrics (ie: cotton & wool, linen & wool, etc), because of something it says in the Bible about not mixing things. I could be really off base, though.

Zonkey's are mean...

A girl in my dorm freshman year was drunk and walked up to one that some locals had on their farm and tried to pet it... it bit her finger off...

I kinda have to laugh about it... it's a funny story

This is scary! It is the result of breeding a Jungle Cat with a Domesticated Cat.
