An Egyptian zoo didn’t have zebras, so it got creative

An Egyptian zoo didn’t have zebras, so it got creative: A zoo in Cairo has apparently been trying to pass off a few donkeys as zebras by painting them black and white, according to the Sun. An Egyptian student visiting the zoo noticed that “the creature had unusually long ears and lacked the distinctive mane usually present on the African beasts. A closer inspection revealed the equine creature was in fact a strategically painted [donkey].” The best part? The zoo has remained adamant that the animals in the exhibit are real zebras, not knockoff zonkeys.
