The kunga was a hybrid equid that was used as a draft animal in ancient Syria and Mesopotamia, where it also served as an economic and political status symbol. Cuneiform writings from as early as the mid-third millennium BCE describe the animal as a hybrid but do not provide the precise taxonomical nature of the breeding that produced it. Modern paleogenomics has revealed it to have been the offspring of a female domesticated donkey and a wild male Syrian wild ass. They fell out of favor after the introduction of domesticated horses into the region at the end of the 3rd millennium BCE.

Animal hybride Parent mâle de l'hybridation E. hemionus hemippus♂ ×Parent femelle de l'hybridation E. asinus asinus♀ Le kunga ou kúnga était un équidé hybride utilisé comme animal de trait dans l'ancienne Syrie et en Mésopotamie. Il est le premier hybride connu créé par l'être humain. Il constituait un atout militaire et était une marque de statut économique et politique. Les écrits cunéiformes dès le milieu du 3e millénaire avant notre ère décrivent l'animal comme un hybride mais n’indiquent pas les espèces génitrices. La paléogénomique moderne révèle qu'il s'agissait de la progéniture d'une ânesse domestiquée et d'un âne sauvage syrien mâle. Les kungas sont tombés en désuétude après l'introduction des chevaux domestiques dans la région à la fin du 3e millénaire avant notre ère. (fr)
