Zebra hybrid

Minecraft has had horses for quite some time now and they have been left untouched for the most part. As of right now in minecraft horses can hybridize with donkeys to make mules but if we add zebras to the game it would add to the mix as in real life they can also hybridize with horses and donkeys to make zorses, and zonkeys and the might be able to in-game to. If added to minecraft zebras would be the same as horses for the most part mabey have a brown/white variation like pandas(zebras can also have rare brown white mutation irl) the only behavior feature that could set it apart is herding they could probably be herded the same way llamas are in game just more of a cluster formation rather to a line it would definitely add a flare to the savanna an give an extra reason to go also who wouldn't wanna ride a zebra that's wearing diamond horse armor to battle.

    I think zebras would be super cool to have, they could be different from horses in some ways for sure, maybe make them having less HPs but heal quicker, or get some buff in hot biomes (wherever it dont rain, maybe including nether, however useless that may be), hybrids of zebras could share those benefits and negatives, sort of like mule is apparently just somewhat faster donkey currently, also zebroids (thsoe hybrids) should be also not able to breed, as far I know, similarly to mules, they cant do so usually
    what zebras could get is better or worse defense attack if that would be added too, if horses could buck (kick by hind legs), IRL it is real thing and threat, with Minecraft often trying to be "educational" making horses able to kick you for considerable damage may be thing to add to, zebras could have better or worse damage of that
    zebras could be also harder to tame, since IRL they could be not really tamed in way horses are, amybe requirin food before even having chance to tame one
    if them to wear armor or not would be up to debate or balancing
    maybe making up to two (for balancing reasons basically) zebras follow you similarly as llama caravans follow leader llama, if you ride zebra, and being able to put chests on them, that may be not most realistic use but it could make them different from other equines, capacity of their chests could be reduced to 9 stacks to keep donkeys relevant, in case you would not use this "herd" donkey would outperform zebra in this
