They are related, but seperate species. If you cross a horse with a zebra you get a hybrid which would be sterile and unable to reproduce itself. This is because they are not close enough any more - like crossing a horse with a donkey will produce a mule - again a sterile animal.

a zebra is like a horse just like a donkey is like a horse. not the same thing but they can interbreed. the offspring (for the most part) cannot reproduce however. same with a zebra and a donkey, they can also interbreed but 99% of the offspring cannot reproduce

It's from the same family as a horse, as is a donkey and a mule! Oh, and maybe a penguin! On second thoughts, no, not a penguin! That's just silly!X
