Best Answer

The Genus Equus includes horses, donkeys and zebras.

They are mammals, with long heads and necks (with a mane of hair). They have long, slender legs with a single toe - protected by a hoof. They are herbivores, that usually feed on fibrous food such as grass.

Horses, donkeys and zebras. In many scientific texts they use the term asses. Don't be confused. Asses is just another word for donkeys.
