Why are horse and donkeys not the same species?

Donkeys and horses are not from the same species because of this: In sexual organisms, two organisms belong to the same species if they are able to breed and have fertile offspring. Although horses and donkeys can have mules, they are infertile, so they are two separate species and the mule is a hybrid.


How much a donkey eats?

Roughly one acre. If the grazing is very poor, allow more. Rich pasture should never be used for grazing donkeys, mules or native British ponies, especially Welsh ponies, as it causes laminitis.


Are there other collective nouns for ponies?

The collective noun for ponies is a string of ponies. A string of ponies is traditional for a group of ponies owned or bred, usually for a particular purpose. That collective doesn't apply to all situations where there may be a group of ponies. Random groups of ponies could be found in many situations, a corral of ponies, a parade of ponies, a family of ponies; or even more fanciful, a pile of ponies, a party of ponies, or a plethora of ponies.


Did Amundsen use ponies nto get to the South Pole?

The Amundsen expedition used dogs to get to the South Pole. The Scott expedition used ponies which, with the wisdom of hindsight, was deemed to have contributed to his failure.


How fast do donkeys run?

They usually don't run unless something or someone sets it off. If that happens (Hopefully it won't) they do run very fast. When they are out on pasture and gallop through the field, they run faster that a donkey and ponies but not a lot faster than horses. Depending on the animals size and fitness levels they will run faster than some horses.
