This is about Platero, the donkey. The Author preserves the other side of a donkey (by reprasing the "of all the animals donkey is the most stupid") which is a loving and tender attitude or a love of an animal for its owner. There is no serious problem presented but the humanity and loving kindness, which is the emotional framework of the story, make it a little gem.

A donkey will produce milk after giving birth to foal. However, to collect the milk to make cheese, the foal will need to be given commercial milk replacer as the donkey will likely not produce enough milk to support both the foal and the milk collection. Also, this could be a rather dangerous prospect as donkeys are not generally well trained to stand for milk collection by hand and there is no commercial equipment available to milk them out mechanically.

In general, in the United States cows are the primary species that is commercially milked to produce dairy product, with a much smaller secondary market for goat milk. In other countries, camels, water buffalos, and yaks are also milked.

You cannot cross a mule with any other animal as mules are born infertile. Because of the difference of the amount of chromosomal pairs in the two parents, the mule cannot successfully reproduce healthy reproductive sperm or eggs. However, on a rare occurrence (one in a million chance) a Hinny (female mule) may be able to reproduce.

It can't but because it barely sweats (like a camel), it can survive for a day or so without water, whereas a horse will sweat copiously under the same conditions. This is because, like the camel, the donkey has evolved to live in a dry climate. A donkey should be given water ad lib at least once a day.

Yes, they come into heat but on an erratic cycle. They are only sterile because of the chromosomal difference between themselves and the available males.

Occasionally female mules DO produce offspring. They still produce estrogen and ovulate. They just most often do not conceive.

This could be a result of anything as I am not sure whereabouts on the leg it is located I cant tell you exactly, however, all donkeys have what they call a chestnut located near the knee area, they are born with it. It could also just be a scar from a previous injury or even a marking on the leg.

I hope that this helps!
