Half-Zebra Foal Born In Britain

　　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, he said.

　　面对一只半马半斑马的动物，你会怎么叫它呢？这个问题正困扰着英格兰西北部一个农场里的员工们--这个农场里的一只设德兰种的矮脚母马生下了一只又象马又象斑马的“两不像”怪物。

　　一名叫吉姆·皮特的农场工人周二告诉BBC广播电台说，这只怪物长得很像斑马，但不是白色，而是褐色的。它从头到尾都有条纹，而且很清晰。

　　吉姆还说，生下“两不像”的母马来自当地的一个马戏团，在那里它曾经和一只斑马关在同一个马房里。
