Striped Surprise for Shetland Pony

LONDON (Reuters) - What do you call a cross between a pony and a zebra?

That is the question puzzling employees at a visitors' farm in northwest England, where a Shetland pony
recently gave birth to a foal bearing an uncanny resemblance to a zebra.

``She's beautiful,'' said Jim Peet of the Eden Ostrich World farm in Cumbria.

``Very much like a zebra but instead of being white, she's brown. The stripes are quite definite, from
the tip of her ears to the tip of her tail,'' he told BBC radio on Tuesday.

The pony came to the farm from a local circus, where she had been penned with a zebra so the two
could keep each other company, he said.
