As someone who grew up in the "Mule Capital of the World" I found this story about a mule who gave birth fascinating.
Fertile Mules? God does not allow such blasphemy!
But he does! He did! SIXTY times since 1927! Forgive my exuberance but I think this may be a sign that he’s now totally ok with gay marriage.
Yes, I know this is interesting to me alone…. what can I say? I love anything verging on freakish and hybrids seem almost sci fi.
Wikipedia offers the following shocking equine math:
Female Horse + Male Donkey = Mule (common)
Male Horse + Female Donkey = Hinny (less common)
Female Mule + Male Horse = Horse (usually – and also: CRAZY)!
Apparently there is no record of fertile male mules (suckers!).
At Mules Days in the past I have also seen:
Male Horse + Female Zebra = Zorse
Female Horse + Male Zebra = Zebroid (there is some controversy between the math on the hybrid page and the math on the zebroid page, it's possible a zebroid is just Boy Zebra + anything)
Wikipedia hybrid page here -- let's hear it for the freaks!

I love Zorses and Zebroids! I have pictures of them from *my* last mule days!
Shweet, I want to breed a super-race of Zebroids that can kick the butt of any normal horse and win any race and take-over any world... I love genetic modefication!!!
