Why are horse and donkeys not the same species?
Donkeys and horses are not from the same species because of this:

How do you replace the drive belt on a kawasaki mule 2510?
You need a special tool from Kawasaki to hold the drive pulley. The Kawasaki part number for the tool is 57001-1520. After you remove the convertor cover. You remove the drive pulley by bolting the tool on the three upper bolts then take off the drive pulley nut (left hand threads). Once the pulley is off take the belt off the driven pulley then you can reinstall the new belt. You also have to check the belt deflection. Put a straight edge from the belt on the drive pulley to the belt on the driven pulley. Using a ruller push down on the belt. The deflection should be no more than 1". If it is I would take the ATV to a Kawasaki dealer. They will need to add or subtract springs and shims from the drive pulley. If the old belt has never been change you might be OK by just replacing it. I have not tried to take the drive pulley off without using the special tool from kawasaki. The best thing you can do is go to RepairManuals.com and look up a KVF650 2003, you can buy the OEM repair manual for $60.00 plus about $6.00 shipping. It has saved me a lot of money.
Why is the mascot of the presidential parties an elephant and a donkey?
The donkey was first used in a political cartoon to represent the stubborn Andrew Jackson (who was also known as a jackass...and not necessarily for his political views). In following cartoons, the donkey was dressed in lion's skins and scaring other animals out of a zoo. Each of these animals represented a different party or idea. Since the only animal more powerful than a lion is an elephant, an elephant was drawn with the words "Repulican Vote" written on it and it was chasing the donkey out of the zoo. It was originally used as a tactic to show the growing power of the GOP and the waning popularity and strength of the Democrats.

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?
