Grevyzebra
Equus grevyi
The Grevy's zebra, named after the former French president Jules Grévy, is the largest wild horse still living today. Its natural range borders that of the wild ass and sometimes their territories even overlap. This overlap can lead to offspring, which are then called zonkeys (zebras and donkeys).
