What is a Zebra Mule?

Zebra Mules are hybrids of a Zebra with another animal of the genus horse and are generally called Zebroids. They are used as carrying animals on tourist farms in Kenya. The mother of these animals is usually a warm blood mare, the father a zebra stallion. In the United States they are used as hobby and show- animals. Earlier the colonial troops of Wilhelm II were using Zebroids as carrying animals. The sense of the hybride of horse and Zebra was that Zebras couldn’t be domesticated and horses were not fully tropic fit. The troops thought, that the hybrids would be just like the zebra insensitive against the sting of the tsetse-fly. The use of the Zebroide was bonded with great difficulties because of the mulish temperament of the zebras.
