Zebras and horses – how closely related are they and can they interbreed and communicate?
The zebra and horse are both equines. They can both communicate with each other just fine (if introduced to each other carefully…otherwise zebras might kill a horse). Rather like dogs and wolves are able to communicate with each other just fine. The offspring of a zebra stallion/horse mare cross are called “zorse.” The zebra mare/horse stallion crosses are called “hebra.” People have even breed “zonkeys, or zebrass.” (zebra/donkey cross) Some of the zebra/horse crosses have produce fertile offspring! You can Google the words, but here is a link for you: http://www.sportpony.com/Zorse.
