The natural range of the Grévy's zebra borders on that of the wild ass. Sometimes the territories of the two species also overlap. When the two species meet, offspring may be produced, known as a ‘zonkey’ (zebra and donkey) or ‘zebresel’.

The Grévy's zebra is named after the former French president, Jules Grévy.
