The Donkey or Equus africanus asinus is a domesticated member of the horse family, Equidae. The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, E. africanus.
A male Donkey or E. a. asinus is called a jack, a female a jenny or jennet; a young donkey is a foal. Jack donkeys are often used to mate with female horses to produce mules; the biological reciprocal of a mule, from a stallion and jenny as its parents instead, is called a hinny.
Donkey or E. a. asinus vary considerably in size, depending on breed and management. The height at the withers ranges from 7.3 to 15.3 hands, and the weight from 180 to 1,060 lb.
E. a. asinus are adapted to marginal desert lands. Unlike wild and feral horses, wild donkeys in dry areas are solitary and do not form harems. E. a. asinus establishes a home range; breeding over a large area may be dominated by one jack.
The loud call or bray of the Donkey or E. a. asinus, which typically lasts for twenty seconds and can be heard for over three kilometers, may help keep in contact with other donkeys over the wide spaces of the desert.
E. a. asinus, have large ears, which may pick up more distant sounds, and may help cool the donkey’s blood. They can defend themselves by biting, striking with the front hooves or kicking with the hind legs.
A jenny is normally pregnant for about 12 months, though the gestation period varies from 11 to 14 months, and usually gives birth to a single foal. Births of twins are rare. About 1.7 percent of Donkey or E. a. asinus pregnancies result in twins; both foals survive in about 14 percent of those. In general jennies have a conception rate that is lower than that of horses.

| World Donkey Day - May 8 | World Donkey Day is a show of respect for one of the most enduring and respectable animals in the Equidae family. Throughout history, it has served the world as both a mount and a beast of burden in some of the most challenging terrains and forbidding climates, and has done so with pride and endurance. It’s unsurprising that these beasts’ success is due in part to their stubborn nature, and World Donkey Day honors them for this along with their other, perhaps more laudable, traits. |
