Size. The largest zebra is the Grevy's zebra, according to the San Diego Zoo. It weighs 770 to 990 lbs. (350 to 450 kilograms) and is around 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall from shoulder to hoof. Their thick bodies make them look like mules with stripes.

Yes, the zorse is a real animal. A zorse, also known as a zebroid, zorse, zonkey, zebmule, or zedonk is a hybrid animal.
It is born when a male zebra is crossbred with a female horse. The male zebra, also called a stallion, and the female horse known as a mare, produces an offspring that has the appearance of a horse and with the stripes of a zebra.
The genes from the zebra give the equine hybrid resistance to diseases and other pests that invade donkeys and horses. A zorse is both sturdy and hardy and the general outlook is determined by genes of the parents.
