Donkeys and Mules

Yes, they are both a part of the Equidae family.

They usually do this as a sign of irritation. Wait until their ears are perked up; this means they are pleased and sociable.

Foals usually stay with their mothers for about a week alone. eventually they join the harem again. they leave the harem and their mother all together after a year or when the head of the harem kicks them out.

No. Donkeys are pseudo ruminants, which are not true ruminants since they:

a) do not chew cud

b) do not have a multiple-chambered stomach.

They do, however, have a large cecum which is responsible for the majority of the fermentation that goes on in the donkey's digestive system. It is for this reason that they are called hind-gut fermentors, but never ruminants.

Baby horses are called foals. When they are young, foal is the proper term for either gender. Males are called colts (colt foal) and females are called fillies (Filly foal). At around six months, they are called weanlings. Once they reach one year of age, they are yearling. The term colt and filly still apply until the horse reaches maturity (usually around four years old). Intact males are then stallions, castrated males are geldings, females are mares.

Donkeys are social animals, and do not like to live alone. Donkeys bray or 'hee haw' expecting another donkey's bray in response. They might also be trying to attract attention, whether it be from a potential breeding partner or their master. Donkeys can bray for quite some time.

A Burro is Spanish for 'a donkey', while a Mule is an offspring of the of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare), while the offspring a female donkey (jenny) and a male horse (stallion) is called a hinny.

No. You can not get pregnant from drinking something and human and animals can not impregnate each other. Their DNA is too different.

She will begin bagging anywhere from 1 week to 2 months prior to foaling with the average being 3 to 6 weeks. You may even see a crystallized excretion at the tip of the nipple a few days prior to foaling. Don't remove it, that is the colostrum on its way down. You can squeeze a very small amount from the nipples to check for color. When it becomes milky, foaling is within 12 to 24 hours.

Donkeys can carry 40% weight.

We don't know. Mules are a cross between a male donkey and a female horse and are apparently the oldest known man-made hybrid.

A Donkey probably can eat bread, but it is most likely not very healthy for it. I think they usually stick to eating oats and grains..

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.

The average size of a donkey's brain is comparable to a human. The donkey's brain is between 50 and 75 percent of the size of the human brain.

It can have a short O sound (as in honor, but pronouncing the H) but more commonly in the US is an AW sound, as in haul and bonk.

The shelter of a donkey is usually called a pen or a donkey pen. It can also be called a shelter or donkey shelter.

This could be due to a number of reasons, old age, health problems such as disease, worms or other parasites, and accidents etc.

They are called Brays.

The plural of donkey is donkeys.

Donkey

There is no height limit for donkeys. The adult height depends on the breed. The largest breeds are the Poitou and the Mammoth, although the latter is really a type. If you want a horse-sized donkey these are the breeds to go for, often reaching 17hh.

no they are both members of the equis species. and the mule is a mix of a horse and a ass.

Yes, they both are part of the same family. Do not let the size fool you, they will find a way to breed.
