Is it a zebra or is it a donkey? No, it's a "ceburro"

No, it is not a pun.The birth of this beautiful zeburro is the result of a hybrid cross between a zebra and a donkey. As often happens with zebras and donkeys , creating unique and sympathetic zebrasans that raise so much expectation among animal lovers.
This curious phenomenon has recently originated in a small Crimean zoo, where apparently some species coexist quietly with the others, until in the end nature has played with chance to create a new tenant whom they have called «Telegraph» .If the purpose of zoos is precisely to conserve all species at risk of extinction, it seems that biology has taken a step further to offer us this little gift: the ceburro.

Ceburro.The sympathetic hybrid of the zoo

The ceburro born in Crimea has received the original name of «Telegraph» in honor of a newspaper of l country .As you can see in the picture his whole body is reminiscent of that of a donkey, but its legs are painted with the typical strokes of a zebra.A precious nature that, unfortunately, can not reproduce when I become an adult.This is what usually happens with these curious hybrids, as is the case with mules (crosses between donkeys and horses).

Telegraph is the star of the Zoo, nobody can deny it.The main attraction they are looking for large and small, and what has made it increase the collection of this small installation of Crimea exponentially.Although this kind of thing do not like biologists and veterinarians too much .These crosses never occur in larger zoos and with more control over species They never allow animals from different families to join together, hence the case of this ceburro has not been received with much joy.They do not consider it at all as something "normal."
But those responsible from the Crimean zoo they have received Telegrafo with the greatest congratulations.Moreover, according to what they say, the mother of the animal was already alone for a long time, without mating with other males of her kind.That is why they decided to put her next to other ungulates...so he wouldn't die of sadness.and then when a true love story arose with an attractive ass , who courted her immediately.
Another case has occurred in recent months in Mexico.Again in a Small zoo, where they offer total freedom to the species, and again...a zebrasno.The truth is that it does not matter that these species are not very natural and that they result in sterile animals.They are healthy and happy creatures, curious animals endowed with a unique beauty, as is the case with ligres .Do you know what it is? They are wonderful animals, the result of the crossing between a male lion and a tigress. They are the largest cats in nature.

Hypnagogic hallucinations: between wakefulness and sleep. Does it happen to you?

Sleeping, sounding, waking up...are activities that we carry out daily but that involve a much greater complexity than it seems at first glance.In Science Daily Online we have talked about sleep disorders and some phenomena that occur to many people while they sleep as Shaking or spasms before falling asleep.On this occasion we have approached another of these trances that can occur when we go to sleep, are the Hypnagogic hallucinations: between wakefulness and sleep.Does it happen to you?

The pa Labra hypnagogica/o comes from Greek and is composed of «hupnos» (dream) and «agogos» (induce...

6 facts about Einstein that you probably don't know

Many agree that Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists in history, but as with many famous people, some facts about Einstein have been distorted or forgotten over time , do you want to know more about this genius? Here we go! 6 facts about Einstein that you surely do not know 1.Its authorship on the theory of relativity was debated The theory of relativity was full of accusations of plagiarism by German scientist David Hilbert and his supporters, because Hilbert claimed that it was he who had first discovered the theory and that Einstein had taken all the credit .In his defense, Einstein I affirm that it was Hilbert who had copied some of his documents. At the beginning it was thought that every scientist had discovered the theory by his side, but that was until it was discovered that, in fact, Hilbert had stolen some documents of Einstein without giving him any credit. Einstein published his discovery before Hilbert, who originally submitted some documents...

The bloody ivory hunt

Surely you have heard about the recent killing of elephants in Africa to take their fangs away.They have been authentic massacres the work of poachers, which we will deal with today in Science Daily Online . The bloody ivory hunt Poaching is illegally done, usually to endangered species or in areas where it simply cannot be their environmental and natural characteristics.In the case of ivory hunting, since 1989 there is an express prohibition of hunting African elephants to protect these splendid animals (the largest land mammals), which have been threatened to the point that some environmentalists they estimate that if drastic measures are not taken to stop the smuggling of ivory, the population of pachyderms will be history in a matter of a few years.In the 80s, the hunters killed more than half of the African elephants s . And what happens? Why is ivory so valuable, who buys it? As in the case of numerous species, such as pangolin, the main market is the Asian , especial...

7 kinds of necrophilia that you didn't know

Originally published in 2009, Anil Aggrawal created these classifications in the Journal of Legal and Forensic Medicine.Because the Manual of Diagnostic and Statistical Mental Disorders groups necrophilia under other uncommon paraphilias, Agarwal presented this new classification system to distinguish between variations. 1.Play player This type of necrophile prefers that his partner is really alive, but pretending to be dead .Aggrawal classifies this practice as 'slightly pathological' and states that some players often ask their partner to cover their body with cosmetics to look like a corpse.Others may represent scenarios of vampirism and resurrection.from the book of Psychosexual Disorders as evidence that some brothels in Paris attend necrophile role-playing games , disposing of their prostitutes as corpses in coffins. 2.Fantasy If you've ever visited a cemetery or a funeral home just for erotic pleasure , you can be a 'fancy Necrophile.'

We have a channel that we would love to be part of.You can subscribe and meet him here-> YouTube Science Daily Online! About four decades ago, astronomers realized that our galaxy, the Milky Way, moved through space at a much faster speed than expected.At 2.2 million kilometers per hour , the speed of the Milky Way through the Cosmos is 2,500 times faster than a cruise passenger plane and 55 times faster than Earth's escape velocity.But this movement comes from a mysterious and great attractor. What is the Great Attractor that is pulling our galaxy? The net movement can arise from nearby clusters in the distribution of matter , as a massive cluster of galaxies.The additional gravitational attraction of this group of galaxies can be delayed, and even reversed, according to the expansion of the Universe in its vicinity.
