The zedonk, a hybrid offspring of a male zebra (Equus zebra) and a female donkey (Equus asinus), features distinctive stripes on its legs and a typical donkey-like body. These hybrids are sterile and often occur in captivity. Zedonks inherit a blend of zebra and donkey traits, resulting in unique appearances and behaviors.

As Equus zebra x Equus asinus is a hybrid between a zebra and a donkey, it does not have a natural native region. However, the parent species have distinct native regions. Zebras are native to Africa, primarily found in regions such as eastern and southern Africa, including countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, and South Africa. Donkeys, on the other hand, are domesticated descendants of the African wild ass, which is native to the northeastern region of Africa, particularly in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Sudan.

Zebras typically inhabit savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands, where the climate ranges from semi-arid to subtropical. They require access to water and graze on a variety of grasses. Donkeys, especially in their wild form, are adapted to arid and semi-arid environments, often found in desert-like conditions with sparse vegetation.

Zebras play a role as grazers in their ecosystems, helping to maintain grassland health and providing prey for large African predators. Donkeys, in their wild form, serve a similar role in their native habitats, where they are adapted to survive in harsher, drier conditions. As hybrids, the habitat and ecological niche of Equus zebra x Equus asinus would depend on the environment provided by humans, as they do not naturally occur in the wild.
