A Credible Zorse

Confession: I called A*Cubed dibs on commenting on Paris Hilton. I Tivoed the Larry King interview. I did. Then, 15 minutes after my bowl of ice cream and I sat down to watch the recording, we were done. (obvious) Conclusion: Paris Hilton has nothing to say. Supposedly she spent the whole time reading a Bible, but can’t think of her “favorite verse”. Claiming religion as inspiration and help is SO last year. So I changed my mind. I’m writing about Zorses instead.

A*Cubed readers, meet Eclyse:

A Zorse is the offspring of a Zebra and a horse; a zebroid (any hybrid equine with zebra ancestry). The Zorse is shaped more like a horse than a zebra, but has boldly striped legs and, often, stripes on the body or neck. Like most other interspecies hybrids, it is infertile.

However, Eclyse, born and being raised on a ranch in Germany is unlike most “normal” Zorses. Most have stripes across their whole body, Eclyse only has two blocks of stripes – on her face and her rear. She gets the pure white areas from her mother, a horse named Eclipse. Eclipse's owners sent her to a ranch in Italy for a little while – where she met an irresistibly attractive Zebra named Ulysses. It’s all so Shakespearean. I love a happy ending...
