Scientific evidence for intelligence in donkeys consequently could expose their unmerited cognitive derogatory status.
The Donkey, or Equus africanus asinus, is a domesticated member of the horse family, Equidae. However, the wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, E. africanus.
A male donkey is called a jack, whereas a female is a jenny; furthermore, a young donkey is a foal.
Jack donkeys are often used to mate with female horses to produce mules. Conversely, the biological reciprocal of a mule, from a stallion and jenny as its parents, is called a hinny.
