Zebra-Pferd!

Zebroid! With photos, even. At the Safaripark Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock.

EDIT: Thanks to Rafe for pointing to this article written in English. I first read about Eclyse in a Spanish newspaper, then found the German site. Easier in a language I actually speak for real.

For the non-German speakers amongst us, what's the scoop? Is it a zebra-something cross? Or just a bizarrely marked zebra?

My German isn't up to extracting any meaning from the text -- could you summarize?

Okay, AltaVista's Babel translator has at least managed to tell me that it is a horse/zebra cross.

I noticed considerable contrast between the white in the zebra parts and the white in the horsey parts. Hmm. Does this mean that Zebras are actually black and grey, rather than black and white?

A Zebra Lady fell in love with a Horse Gent and this is what they got.
It's a pretty little foal but it's likely never to bear foals herself since horse-race mixes aren't fertile. Like mules, ye know.
The funny thing is that it looks like a zebra head and tail with some horse inbetween. You would expect a more even pattern, not like a chimera :-) Still - very pretty!

Nein, wie süß ist das denn?:)

Thankfully, one of the actual German-speakers helped out below. I actually first saw this in a Spanish newspaper, so it's all been languages I hardly understand for me. Though when I finally get some time in front of my huge-monitor-that-fits-two-browers-windows-at-once I ought to ponder the German some more (the second window for the dictionary...).
