A very stripey zedonk!

[Mrs B]

Seen a few before but not quite like this - can't believe it's been dyed, can you?

I think it has been dyed, looks more like a tiger in his/her markings than any of the zebra hybrids I have seen pics of before

That's what made me wonder - but dyed coats I've seen before look much more of a 'block' colour... Most odd!

Think it must have been dyed....makes it look ugly!

That is very odd!

Or could the picture have been photoshopped? I am no expert at telling but I am sure someone could have created that pattern on a computer if they so wanted.

Lol! I've never seen a Zoo animal wearing a head collar either.

They used to give zebra rides at London Zoo when my Mum was a little girl in about 1930...

Yes, I was going to write about donkey rides at Zoos but didn't want to show my age. 1930's is a bit before my time though.

She did have me late... Must run in the family as all my four grandparents were born at the end of the 1890's...

i don't think its been dyed (haidresser ) dye just doesn't work like that ,you can't just paint it on in patterns like that it just wouldn't look like that

could have been photoshopped i know now't about how that works

That's what made me wonder... the texture of the colour is wrong for dye. Maybe Team Barney's and you are right and it's a Photoshop job, but again, that's not easy to do with the texture of mane and coat...
