Rare Zonkey Born In Mexican Zoo [PHOTOS + VIDEO]: See Why This Adorable Zonkey Captured The World’s Eyes

Reynosa, the place where the rare Zonkey born in Mexican zoo occurred, is the largest city of the northeastern state of Tamaulipas. According to the zoo, Khumba is extra rare as zebra and donkey chromosomes were known to be incompatible. However, even though the rare Zonkey born in Mexican zoo, Khumba, is considered unique, he is not the first zonkey in the world.

A zonkey was also born in Italy and named Ippo. Ippo apparently had a huge impression on the public and he eventually became a tourist attraction in Italy. As such, he will probably be the rival of Khumba, the rare Zonkey born in Mexican zoo, for fame and attention.

Ippo was born in Florence last year, and he was reportedly conceived when his dad, a zebra, jumped over a fence into an area which housed donkeys.

Rare Zonkey born in Mexican zoo, Khumba, isn't totally alone in the world as the mix breeds can also be found in countries like Japan, China and the United States.
