latimesblogs.latimes.com — Are they zebras, or are they donkeys? Well, if you ask the staff and visitors at Gaza's Marah Land zoo, the (bizarre) answer is: They're both.

    May as well get some griffins and unicorns in there too.
  • SDM187, on 10/31/2009, -0/+7While at the pearly gates a zebra asks God, "Lord ive always been curious... am i black zebra with white stripes, or a white zebra with black stripes?" God looks at him and says "You is what you is."

  • Moralogic, on 10/31/2009, -0/+4When you look at those compared to real Zebras, there are a lot of things that don't match up. Probably most importantly that Zebras don't have stripes on their bellies, haha. (Evidently the guy can't afford qualified help either.) I still have to give kudos for doing their best with what they have.
  • cheezygrin, on 10/31/2009, -0/+4debras.
  • DontDoDrugs, on 10/31/2009, -0/+3I'm pretty sure one of the elephants at my local zoo is actually Rosie O'donnell...
  • diggdong, on 10/31/2009, -0/+3well, at least they got the stripes in the correct direction.
  • seobro, on 10/31/2009, -0/+2Look fake as play money in a toy box. As real as that orangeback ten monopoly money.
  • Sirlolalot, on 10/31/2009, -0/+2FTA "The first time we used paint but it didn't look good," What sort of zoo applies paint to animals?
    /facepalm
  • xtonypiercex, on 10/31/2009, -0/+2life is an illusion anyway
  • binaryalchemist, on 10/31/2009, -0/+2"Hey Nidal? Y'know, I reckon with a bit of paint and some field surgery, that kid over there would look just like a moderately priced snake!"
  • baja01, on 11/01/2009, -0/+2Protip: Israel's blockade is the cause for no zebras, and Israel is not a muslim country....
  • JRowe3388, on 10/31/2009, -0/+2BA-ZING!
  • gkiltz, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Can you say fraud?
  • rmxz, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1Nah. A Zonkey is donkey crossed with a zebra - not painted like one.

  • Impossibilium, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1Necessity is the mother of invention I suppose.

    What about a giraffe? Just have two impalas, one standing on the others shoulders wearing a long coat.
  • dancantone, on 11/01/2009, -0/+1The whole ***** world is going insane!
  • dannymb877, on 10/31/2009, -2/+3lmao
  • jeremanrox, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1This article, again?
  • fwuzzle, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1I feel really bad for the donkeys :( Couldn't they just wait a few months sans zebra?

    Also, I want to go to the zoo where you can ride the zebras. I just hope the lion exhibit isn't that open air.
  • roflmcwaffles, on 10/31/2009, -1/+2That was uncalled for.
  • Riffington, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1Israel is the excuse to spend less money and invent a good story that attracts more visitors than a real zebra ever would.
  • Linake, on 10/31/2009, -0/+1Does the Digg Bar totally slow down the loading time of sites for anyone else? This is the fourth article in a row where it wouldn't load... until I exited the Digg Bar. Then it was fine.
  • johnnyfivealive, on 10/31/2009, -1/+1No one will ever notice...
  • fxu1989, on 10/31/2009, -1/+1Ignorance is bliss.

  • johnwayne1, on 11/01/2009, -2/+1Sad they had to do this because of Israel's occupation.
  • spoon088, on 11/01/2009, -3/+2Right, teaching kids that lying is all good. But then again this is Israel.
  • b3agle, on 10/31/2009, -4/+2Technically, they're Zenkeys!
  • Dalisca, on 10/31/2009, -3/+1Those donkeys look malnourished.
