We all know what a zebra crossing is. But when a zoo ends up crossing a zebra with an ass you may not get a star in stripes.

A wildlife park in the Chinese city of Suqian has a new member -- a Zebrass, also known as a zonkey.

A video of the baby zebra-donkey hybrid playing with its parents at the wildlife park shows the bizarre animal that looks like it's wearing striped socks.

THE LOVE STORY WITH SPECULATIONS

Chinese media did report a romance between a zebra and donkey at Suqian Zoo, though it wasn't clear if this offspring was a result of the same affair or even by the same couple.

According to the China Daily, though the two animals fought in the beginning, love eventually overcame everything else. The duo "fell in love" and the zebra ended up pregnant.

Zoo authorities have been monitoring the zonkey's health. And no, it's not named Jon Snow.
