One of the world's most endangered animals, an African wild ass — which looks like a donkey with zebra legs — has been born at a zoo in the U.K., raising hopes for its species' continued survival.

African wild asses are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. Experts believe there are fewer than 200 individuals left in the wild.
