Hmm... Something seems slightly off here...

What do you think... Is it a Zebra? Or is it a painted Donkey?

That's the question sweeping the internet by storm today, after photos emerged from a fairly suspect looking 'Zebra' at the International Gardens Park in Cairo.

Mahmoud Sarhan, 18, took pictures of the animals during a visit last weekend and it appears that some of the Zebra's stripes have rubbed off... and we're fairly sure that isn't meant to happen!

The zookeeper denies painting black stripes onto donkeys, however experts disagree.

Mahmoud said: ‘'We finished our tour then we decided to take some pictures.

''When we went to the zebra side, there was only one zebra.

‘'It came to us and the other one didn’t move, but when he came near to me, I realised from the first look that it was a painted donkey not a zebra. ‘People might realise that from the stripes. I sure felt shocked when people phoned me and asked me about this.’'

We think the evidence is pretty 'black and white' (Absolutely zero apologies for the pun).

Plus... well the ears are kind of a dead giveaway.

For arguments sake, here's a photo of a what an actual zebra looks like.
