Regarding hybrid appearance, which parent's coat color do zonkeys tend to take on overall?

Answer

The donkey parent

Although zonkeys inherit the distinctive striping pattern characteristic of the zebra parent, these stripes are typically concentrated, often appearing most prominently on the legs. The overall coloration and general coat hue of the hybrid tend to resemble that of the donkey parent, which contributes the base coat color upon which the zebra stripes are overlaid. This combination of inherited traits results in an animal that is recognizably striped but tonally similar to a standard donkey.
