The donkey worked in finance. The zebra worked in fashion. They
never would have met if their mutual friend Matt had not thrown
that dumb party, but they met on the bathroom line and hit it
off, and now we have a ZONKEY.  Above, please find three-week-
old Italian Zonkey named Ippo. While certainly unique, she is
not the only known zonkey — there is a three-year-old in
Georgia's Chestatee Wildlife Preserve, where she "hasn't faced
any ostracism for being different." Here's hoping Ippo has the
same luck.  Also: I can't speak Italian, but hopefully she is
saying something more uplifting than the L.A. Times' bummer of a
headline: "Super-cute baby zonkey, not for sale, probably
sterile." Way to suck the fun out of an adorable living,
breathing portmanteu, you guys.  'Rare Baby Zonkey Born In
Italy' [The Grist]
