Look at the picture. You can see a donkey standing in the grass. The donkey or ass (Latin: Equus Asinus) is a domesticated member of the horse biological family, Equidae.
This donkey looks like a horse but its size is usually smaller. Its elongated (1) ears are pricked and rotate like radar screens. Its muzzle is elongated also with two oval nostrils at the end of its nose. Its forehead is broad (2) with its eyes on either side of its face. It has a mane that sticks up (3) along its neck, which goes from the base (4) of its skull to its shoulders. It is grey with white spots on its belly and nose. It has a medium length tail with a furry brush at its end, like cows. It stands on its four legs that have hooves (5).
Domestication of the donkey happened much earlier than with horses. Donkeys were the first animals that the prehistoric man used to transport things. All domesticated donkeys belong to African donkeys. All attempts (6) to tame (7) kulans (Asian donkeys) have been unsuccessful.
Depending on the breed, donkeys can grow 90-163 cm. The height of some specimens can vary (8) from the size of a pony to the size of a horse. The largest ones reach a height up to 163 cm and can weigh from 200 to 400 kg.
The donkey differs (9) from its larger relatives (horses) in that it can tolerate more easily the lack (10) of food and water. Donkeys feed on grassy and shrubby (11) vegetation (12).
By mixing donkeys and horses people create mules [a hybrid of a male donkey and mare] and a hinny (13) [a hybrid of a male horse (stallion (14)) and an ass].
A donkey's life expectancy (15) is 25-35 years. Occasionally (16), some donkeys can live up to 45-47 years.
