A zebra-horse crossbreed, commonly known as a zorse, is the offspring of a zebra and a horse. This hybrid inherits traits from both parents, often displaying the zebra's distinctive stripes along with the horse's body shape and size. Zorses are typically sterile, meaning they cannot reproduce, which is a common characteristic of many hybrid animals. Zorses are primarily bred for their unique appearance and can be found in various colors, depending on the horse parent. They are often used in educational settings to teach about genetics and animal behavior, as well as in some cases for riding or as exotic attractions in zoos.
