What is the primary reason for the zonkey animal's virtual non-existence in natural wild environments?

Answer

Most known zonkeys are the result of captive breeding programs

The primary factor preventing the natural, widespread existence of the zonkey in the wild is its status as a hybrid. Because it results from mating two distinct species (zebra and donkey), these offspring are not naturally occurring population members. Virtually all documented cases of zonkeys arise from deliberate, controlled breeding initiatives conducted within captive settings, such as zoos or private preserves, rather than through spontaneous natural mating in their native habitats.
