Zoo denies painting black stripes on donkey to look like a zebra




A zoo has denied painting black stripes on a donkey to make it look like a zebra, following a series of images which appeared online.
Mahmoud Sarhan, an Egyptian student, posted pictures of the animal on Facebook after visiting Cairo’s International Garden park. He said the donkey enclosure featured two painted animals.
Experts were quick to agree with Mr Sarhan’s assessment.
Alex Adams, a wildlife biologist and researcher at Colorado State University, said there was no doubt it was something other than a zebra.
“The stripes (on a zebra) are always defined, never smudged, and zebras can be small but never that small,” he told The Independent.
Too funny, i had to post
it!
