Appearance
The donkey or domestic ass (Equus asinus) is a domesticated animal used to carry loads, pull carts, and carry riders. The wild ancestors of the donkey are African. Donkeys are smaller than the domestic horse. They have long ears and great endurance, but are reputed to be of stubborn disposition and low intelligence.
A Male donkey(jackass) can be crossed with a female horse to produce a mule and a male horse crossed with a female donkey (jennet or jenny) to produce a hinny.
