\"\"\"\"The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya shared the story of a rescued zebra that unexpectedly gave birth to a zonkey — a hybrid of a zebra and a donkey.<\/p>\n

The female zebra wondered out about two years ago before being rescued and then giving birth. Workers at the animal reserve noticed the foal was “suspiciously light on stripes and overwhelmingly tawny in colour.” For awhile they thought maybe it had been playing in the mud.<\/p>\n

Experts said it is “highly unusual” for a zonkey to be born to a wild zebra.<\/p>\n

\"\"There’s a new app that wants to help you meditate, on the toilet.<\/p>\n

\"\"It’s called Clementine<\/a>, and it’s filled with meditation sessions that last five minutes and 18 seconds, or just about enough time for you to do your business.<\/p>\n

The app uses a form of hypnosis to quickly engage your brain, get you into a meditative state, and help you de-stress, all before you need to wipe and flush.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested, you can download the app for your iPhone. It costs 50 cents a month as a subscription fee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 13th is the 104th day of the year. There are 262 days remaining until the end of the year.
