      There is indeed a cross between a zebra and a horse, it’s called a Zebroid. While these animals can be born, they themselves are sterile so they can’t reproduce.

      There are a few other animal hybrids, such as ligers/tiglons (lion + tiger), mules (horse + donkey), beefalo (cow + bison) or camas (camel + llama)!
