Donkeys and Mules

Donkeys are short because of the way they are bred, They actually have a mind of a dog. That is why they sit. There are different breeds of donkeys, Like... I have a mammoth donkey which is the size of a horse and there are regular donkeys which are med. size, there are also miniature donkeys believe it or not. Those are the size of a calf.

Hope I helped =)

The American Quarter Horse is truly an American breed. The King Ranch in Texas takes the credit for the foundation sires and mares that shaped the breed that is now the most popular in the world.

Actually An offspring less than 1 year old is called a foal. (male:colt, female:filly) its an ass

African Elephants have few natural enemies. Their size and tusks are great defenses and they are only attacked by predators when they are young or sick. The African Elephant's main enemies are poachers. These hunter's kill elephant's illegally mainly for their ivory. Poacher's are the only true threat to a healthy, full grown African Elephant (other than disease and natural disaster's).

They are stubborn BECAUSE OF their intelligence. I've also found mustangs to be the same way. Instead of just reacting to things, they actually try to figure things out. That's why they mess with EVERYTHING, and test you constantly. It's their way of interacting with and learning about their world. It's just the nature of the creature. I think it's a good thing. I'd rather have a horse/mule that thinks about things than one that just reacts all the time.

We have to bring respect and empathy with us

A jennet, jenny, maud, moke, mule, Rocky Mountain canary or neddy. "Ass" or "jackass" can also be used, because the terms were used long before anyone thought to use them as a form of swearing or an insult. People would often define a male or female donkey by referring to each as either a "she-ass" or a "he-ass".

French = âne

German = esel

Spanish = burro

Portuguese = jumento

Italian = asino

20 Mule Team Borax does not indicate on the package for use of getting rid of mosquitoes, although some people have had positive results using the product for getting rid of them.

Instead of ripping the grass right away with their teeth, donkeys grab the plant with their lips, pull it in their mouth, then rip it with their flat teeth and grind it down for swallowing

This is a hinny. As mule-breeders say, "Mules can do it all!" Hinny breeders add "... but hinnies do it better". Because of the shortage of large donkeys most hinnies are pony-sized but it is possible to breed a large hinny from a jenny of around 14.2hh and a horse of 14.2-16.2hh. In Cyprus, there are lots of very high quality hinnies, bred from jennies of around 14hh and palfreys of Arab type in the same height range. The only thing to avoid when breeding a mule or a hinny is a pure-bred Arab. If you're looking to breed an Arab-type mule, go for a part-bred Arab or Anglo-Arab and cross it with an elegant donkey of good size (14hh or more).

They eat sticks and stuff in the wild but I have camped in a area with wild donkeys and they have stolen a freshly shot squirrel that I had just skinning in camp. I was using the bathroom I come back and one of them was just chewing on it. I just let him take it, I don’t think he really ate it maybe just got some of the juices from it haha I’m not sure

well....according to me ithe donkey is dump....but still i am working on it, to find out weather they are smart or not....but when i get to know the exact thing, then I'll surely say over here.

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.
