What is a hinny?

Why don't scientists consider mules to be a separate species?
Scientists do not consider mules to be a separate species because they are hybrids, resulting from the breeding of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). Mules possess characteristics of both parent species but have an uneven number of chromosomes (63), making them typically sterile and unable to reproduce. Since they cannot produce viable offspring, mules do not meet the biological criteria for a species, which is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Thus, mules are classified as a crossbreed rather than a distinct species.

Do mules try to mate?
