    The legs looked funny to me. I looked for more pictures other than that one, because that is the only picture I've seen of that zorse, and I found some different pictures. So I believe it's a paint zorse now and not photoshopped.

    I figured it would be really hard to make a paint zorse because the zebra pattern seems to trump almost every color/pattern it's breed to. Even a homozygous paint still throws 25% "normals" and that's according to APHA (American Paint Horse Association), I just figured the zorses ended up being solid paints if they were paints, because the dominance of the zebra. I did find a FjordxZebra and it still had the Fjord color and characteristics, so I guess if the genes are strong enough they can shine through the zebra pattern/color. It makes me think of breeding mules and how difficult it is to get a paint mule unless you are lucky enough to have a paint jack.

    I know that paint horses are different than ball pythons, I have a paint mare, a tovero to be exact.

    Edit: Oh my bad, I was reading it as "you won't believe are photoshopped" not "weren't photoshopped"
