Zorses have existed since the 19th century. But most zorses don't look like Eclyse. She's special because her coat looks zany. It is sharply divided between horse and zebra.
Eclyse has a zebra head. The first half of her body is like a white horse. The second half of her body is like a zebra.

德國有許多民眾想到莎芙利野生公園一睹艾克莉絲的真面目。園方表示，艾克莉絲是馬與斑馬混種的半馬半斑馬的（zorse）。
zorse自十九世紀已存在。但是艾克莉絲的模樣與大多數的zorse不同。艾克莉絲相當與眾不同，毛皮長得很逗趣，馬紋與斑馬紋的部分壁壘分明。
艾克莉絲有顆斑馬頭，身體的前半部有如白馬，另一半則像斑馬。
艾克莉絲十四個月大了，出生於義大利的一處馬場。
莎芙利野生公園園方表示，艾克莉絲的母親是斑馬，父親是馬，牠三星期前才從義大利搬到德國。
莎芙利野生公園的獸醫擔心園內的斑馬不喜歡艾克莉絲。園方正尋覓一匹小公馬來與牠同住。（翻譯︰賴美君）

Wheel-of-Life round.” She raised an eyebrow.

Skating is a popular recreational and competitive activity that involves sliding over surfaces using specially designed footwear. Its origins date back over 1,000 years to Northern Europe, where people first strapped animal bones to their feet to move across frozen lakes and rivers. In the 17th century, the Dutch transformed skating into a leisure activity. They also replaced bone blades with metal, leading to the creation of modern ice skates. Today, ice skating is enjoyed as a global sport and an exciting pastime by people of all ages. Figure skating is one of the best-known and most graceful forms of skating.
