Cross-Bred

Maybe two or three years back, I marvelled at the 'LIGER': half lion, half tiger, all muscle and looking docile as a sofa. The thing was about as big as a sofa too. A big bloody sofa.

Now there's a new mammal mash-up, born in Germany: 'Eclyss, the HEBRA'. Half horse and half zebra, with a hide to prove it. Coming forth from the loins of mother Eclipse the zebra and father Ulysees the horse, Eclyss (see what they did there...??) is something of an anomaly, our trusty BBC reporter reports. Usually, it's the other way around and a male zebra and female horse copulate to create a 'ZORSE'. They're worried Eclyss will be shunned by the pack and won't find a friend.
