Can't Afford a Zebra??

.
We've all been there.

And it can be pretty rough, especially when you have a busload of kids counting on you to serve them up some magic and excite their suggestible little imaginations.

But this clever zoo owner in Gaza saw away around the prohibitive cost of a real live zebra ($40,000) by creating a little DIY version of his own. He used two donkeys the zoo already had on-site and applied black stripes of women's hair dye with a paint brush.

(They tried paint first but it "didn't look good.")
