It may look half horse, half zebra but this Devon donkey is actually wearing socks - thanks to the recent hot weather.

Majorie is a 25-year-old donkey who lives at Devon's Donkey Sanctuary, and she has taken to wearing stripey socks to protect her from horse fly bites.

Marjorie has been suffering badly in the recent outbreak and repellent spray wasn't doing the trick.

Keepers tried everything but were at a loose end, until one decided to try putting socks on the old donkey.

Now, Marjorie has a new lease of life and happily parades around The Donkey Sanctuary in her stripy black and white socks.
