Yes, a donkey can walk backwards. They do this very slowly and only a few steps at a time. Animals that cannot walk backwards are kangaroos and emus.
How much can a 500 pound mule pull?
Generally, a mule can pull it own weight in pounds. If you have one mule weighing 900 pounds, it can conceivably pull 900 pounds. If you have two 900 pound mules, they should be able to pull 1800 pounds combined.
No. Donkeys and horses are two different animals, though somewhat related due to their ability to produce offspring, though sterile they mainly are. Donkeys look nothing like a horse and horses look nothing like a donkey. Donkeys are longer-eared and often more scraggly looking than a horse. Donkeys also have a wider forehead which enables them to see their hind quarters better than any horse can--which is transferred via genetics to mules and hinnies. While both are used for work and both can be ridden, it is not in any one's best interests to think that a donkey and a horse are the same creature.
Donkeys are very good beasts of burden and pack animals. Additionally, they are traditionally used for pulling carts/weights, turning wheels and providing the original horse power (before engines became standard in developed countries).
What do donkeys provide for us?
Donkeys help humans in many ways, particularly when it comes to physical labor. They can be used as transportation via riding, they can carry a lot of things due to a strong back, they can carry transportation like wagons and carts, they can be used to protect smaller animals like sheep, and they are usually a good riding animal for a child to learn on due to their size.
Do hooves and teeth continue to grow throughout a donkeys life?
Yes they do grow throughout the donkeys life
it has brown hair well lets say it looks like a donkey
its like a horse, but with shorter legs, and a body built for carrying loads.
Why can't mules have offsprings?
When a female horse and a male donkey mate, you get a mule, but two mules can’t mate to create another mule because of their chromosomal makeup.
A mule gets 32 horse chromosomes from its mother and 31 donkey chromosomes from its father. Mules are almost always sterile because those chromosomes don’t match up well enough to create egg or sperm cells.
I say “almost always” because there have been a few extremely rare instances of female mules reproducing with a male donkey or horse. But those are so rare they’re often called “miracles,” and there have been no documented instances of a male mule fathering any offspring. So, as far as we know, two mules cannot reproduce.
Why is a Male donkey called a Jack and a Female called a Jenny?
jacke is a boy name and jenny a girl name
Yes, they do! That is how they bark, whine, whimper, howl, etc.
Why does a mule not sink in quick sand but a donkey does?
Of course, everything can sink in quicksand.
How does a donkey get its food?
Since it has been over 40 years since I took biology, this answer will be basic and "generic' until an expert replaces it, or at least improves it. To hooved animals, the hoof is equivalent to the human finger and toenails. Basically, the material is almost pure protein, as is our hair. The hoof grows out of a specializec tissue at the top which generates the hoof.j3h
Do donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes?
It is far harder to find an accurate statistic for the number of people killed annually by donkeys than it is for those killed by plane crashes for obvious reasons, so a conclusive answer cannot be given, but it definitely seems as though that little "factoid" is very much untrue. A decent amount of people are injured by donkeys or killed as a result of accidents related to donkeys (mostly car crashes involving a donkey) but the number of people actually killed by the donkey itself is extremely low.
No. There is no such account in the Bible, although once Saul did go looking for some animals of his father that were lost.
Probably you are thinking of Balaam who did have this happen due to his wrong attitude. This is recorded in Numbers chapter 22.
Of course everyone knows that donkeys don't talk (although as a boy I did think Mr. Ed, the talking horse was good). Donkeys are referred to as being 'dumb' in the sense of not having the gift of speech. This is referenced in the verse below, another indication that the New Testament Christians recognized this event as historical fact, although obviously an exception and so supernatural in nature, as of course was the angel from which the donkey was trying to protect its master.
Further to this it could be pointed out that to say something is supernatural does neither mean nor imply that it is not real, nor that it didn't happen. The events of 9/11 although incredible and out of the ordinary were not supernatural whereas the event with Balaam was, but nonetheless just as real, although certainly witnessed by less people.
15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
A jackass or jack is a male donkey. A female donkey is called a jenny, so that's probably the word you're after.
What Do Donkeys Eat?
Donkeys are grazing animals, just like horses. In the wild, they mainly graze on grass. However, they also eat straw, tree leaves, bark, some flowers and brambles. Donkeys that are are raised by humans are fed hay (dried grass) when the grass is not growing. Donkeys love eating bread, peppermints and ginger biscuits, but these rot their teeth!
