Zebrula draws the crowds

A zebrula, a cross between a horse and a zebra, has drawn curious onlookers to a zoo in Germany because of its unusual coat.

While zebrulas have been in existence since the 19th century, this one is particularly unique as its coat is sharply divided between horse and zebra, says Safaripark, a zoo near Guetersloh.

The animal, which is slightly more than a year old and is named Eclyse, has a zebra head, while the first half of the rest of its body is white and the second half is zebra-colored.

It arrived at the zoo three weeks ago from Italy.
