A ZONKY is a Donkey in Tijuana that is painted to resemble a Zebra. The Zonky started by a photographer back in the 1930's that noticed that when tourist took pictures with the Zonky's, The Zonky would fade and it could not be recognized. His fix to this was; paint the Donkey's with black stripes to make them stand out after the photo faded. This created the now world famous ZONKY located in Tijuana, MX.
Zonky is also a t-shirt brand out of Tijuana with humorous, funny logos of Tijuana and the culture.
