I am mesmerized by the depth of the shapes as I move around her, Neil says. Stepping inside the head is a whole different experience as it feels almost childlike....

About four months ago, an adorable half-zebra, half-donkey was born in Italy named Ippo. The rare crossbreed, known as a zonkey, is the offspring of a male zebra and female donkey. In fact, she is the only zonkey in all of Italy. Twelve months later, Giada gave birth to the adorable Ippo! Zebroids like Ippo carry traits (physical and personality-wise) from both parents.
