Charles Darwin wrote about zonkeys in the “Origin of Species” (1859), so we know that there were at least some around then. And a man by the name of Lord Morton experimented with hybrid horses as early as 1815.

Zonkey hybrids have been bred in captivity since the 19th century.

The Zonkeys Lifespan ranges from 15-25 years and a weight range of Zonkeys is 227kg – 318kg.
