You have to be a real ass to try to pull this off.
A zoo in Egypt has denied painting black stripes on a donkey to make it look like a zebra after a photo of the animal appeared online.
Student Mahmoud Sarhan put the images on Facebook after visiting Cairo’s International Garden municipal park.
Aside from its small size and pointy ears, there were also black smudges on its face.
The pictures quickly went viral, with experts weighing in on the species of the animal.
A vet contacted by local news group Extranews.tv said that a zebra’s snout is black, while its stripes are more consistent and parallel.
Mr Sarhan told Extranews that the enclosure contained two animals and that both had been painted.
No prizes for guessing who pioneered this trickery.
