Hi i was wondering can you get donkeys with floppy ears that hang instead of sticking up?

Yes, there are some very large donkeys in the Poitou region of France with very large ears. The ears in some individuals do flop over, and resemble those of the famous donkey Eeyore. Donkey ears, like other animal ears, are made of cartilage. If this gets damaged, the ears may not stand up straight any longer, but instead will drop.


Does a donkey have longer ears or does a horse?

Donkeys have long ears, considerably longer than horses Horses are faster than donkeys. Even smaller horses can outrun a donkey. Donkey's conformation is not as similar as a horse when you look into the finer details. Donkey's need an earlier warning so they can have a head start to run away. Therefore donkeys hearing is better.


What do quotes represent?

Quotes do represent the donkey's ears. Whatever found in donkeys ears is not always true. Some people resembling donkeys are speaking in quotes. In verbal communication is really difficult to see the quotes. You must look for donkeys' ears placed somewhere in people's heads! Donkeys do lie all the time. They are actually self-indulging. A common donkey name in my country ("Mentios") is of Spanish origin (mentida, mentidos), meaning: The Liar. Mentida / mentidos (Spanish), and, (la _) mensonge (French), both stand for: Lie, Lies. The very English word "message" can mean: a Lie. (Do compare it with the French word and you'll see why.) The ultimate knowledge is: Don't believe whatever it is said. Watch whether it is contained in quotes (' '). Those are donkeys ears.
