She bought a pregnant donkey — and it gave birth to a zonkey in Kansas. Seriously

Veterinary Health Center at Kansas State University

When Jayla was purchased by the donkey rescue organization, it was found that the animal was pregnant.

She didn't know Jayla was carrying a baby.

The T&D Donkey Rescue Inc. brought Jayla to the Veterinary Health Center at Kansas State University to ensure the best chance of survival for her foal, according to an April 26 Facebook post.

There was a foal with a donkey face and zebra legs, photos from the K-State vet center show.

Jayla had a relationship with a zebra before she was purchased by the Missouri nonprofit.

The new baby is named Zyla. According to the school, she is part donkey and part zebra.

Zyla and her mother are doing well at home, according to the health center.

Zyla is not the first zonkey to make a surprise appearance.

A zonkey was born to a zebra that Sheldrick Wildlife Trust helped home.

At first, we thought the foal had just been wallowing in the mud bath, but then we realized it was a zonkey.

According to its website, T&D Donkey Rescue provides medical attention to donkeys that have been neglected, abandoned or abused.

If a donkey can't be rehabilitated, they will live at the rescue. Our donkeys live in herds that are honored and protected.

The organization works with donkeys from several states.
