Male mules or donkeys are known as Jacks.
That is a mule.
A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse.
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.
a male donkey and a female horse make a mule
Mules are sterile--they won't mate with a horse, a mule, a donkey, or any other animal. They aren't breedable. That being said, there are two cases known in which a mule mated and gave birth to another hybrid. There isn't a name for a mule/horse hybrid because it's so rare. The actual animals were named Blue Moon and Lightning Strikes.
Hinny
A mule is an infertile hybrid of a donkey and a horse.
The answer to that question is a mule. The mule is used to pull carts, and used on farms. The mule cannot reproduce, it's genes are unbalanced. It has more horse gene combinations then donkey combo's.
They are called mules. Because of the cross-breeding, mules are always male. And seeing as this animal is the product of two different species, almost all mules are infertile to prevent the continuation of a so called corrupt gene pool.
Yes, A jack is a male donkey. A Jennet is a female donkey. They mate and make more donkeys. A Jack can also mate with horses. They produce a mule. This is hybrid off spring is 99.9% sterile. Blue Moon is the name of a rare exception. I believe she is located in PA. and looks like a mule.
Answer A male donkey and a female horse. A Hinny is a cross between a male horse and a female donkey.
A male mule is always sterile, female mules can rarely be fertile, and unless there is something wrong with the donkey they are fertile.
