You can make mules by breeding a male donkey with a female horse. but mules themselves can not reproduce. They are sterile. (99.9% of the time)
note: a hinny is the baby of a male horse and a female donkey. (also sterile)
If you want to get a good mule, you can breed different horses with horses with quality's you like, and breed donkeys with donkeys together with quality's you like. Then you can take the donkeys and horses foals and breed them together and make a "good" mule.
I don't think so. As a mule is a cross between two different species, then it is most likely to be sterile. So I guess you could breed them, but no foal would be born.
Hope this helps! :)
stallions can breed with jennies, jacks can breed with mares. mules cannot interbreed. the first pairing produces a hinny, which is a worthless animal. The jack to mare horse produces a mule.
That is a mule.
A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse.
No, a mule is considered a hybrid as it is half donkey half horse, and donkeys and horses are not different breeds but different species (although they are in the same family). Mules are good as they have the characteristics of both donkeys and horses. They cannot breed due to an irregular number of chromosomes although there have been a very small number of reported times when they have managed.
The terms are confusing. Male mules are infertile.A "mule" is usually the crossing of a female horse (mare) with a male donkey (jack).A "John" Mule is the nickname given to a male mule, though the correct registry term is "horse mule" or "Gelding". Female mules are called mare mules.A "Jack" is the name given to a male donkey/ass. A "Jack" is fertile.A "Jenny" or "Jennet" is the name given to a female donkey/ass. A "Jenny" is fertile.A "hinny" is the name given when a female donkey (Jenny) is bred to a male horse (stallion). A hinny is classified as a mule and pertains to both male and female sexes of the species (male hinnies and female hinnies).There are some terms that were used at the turn of the century that have fallen from use.Mule-jacks were used to produce mules (ie, they are jack donkeys bred to mares). A jennet-jack was used on jennets to produce more donkeys.
Yes they only breed with their breed.The above is only partly true. A donkey is a breed, or species (Equuis asines), It, therefore, can breed true - that is, a male and a female donkey will produce another donkey.However, a donkey can interbreed with a horse as follows:A female horse (mare), and a male donkey will produce a mule.A male horse (stallion), and a female donkey will produce a hinny.
Cross between a male horse and female donkey. Similar to a mule, which is between a female horse and a male donkey.
