GENERAL INFORMATION:
Donkey and Burro are nicknames for ass.
The male donkey is called jack or jackass.
The female donkey is called the jenny.
A mule is the offspring of a jackass (male donkey) and a mare (female horse).
A hinny is the offspring of a stallion (male horse) and a jenny (female donkey).
HOW is it possible????? How can a donkey and horse give birth to a mule?
- Donkeys and horses (and even zebras) are closely related to each other; enough so that they can make babies together. Mule and hinny are just names people gave those combinations (zeedonk and zorse are names for the babies of a zebra with a donkey and with a horse). It is similar to the way dogs of different breeds can make babies together; but there are so many possible combinations of dog breeds, most combinations don't get special names but are all called mutt or mongrel. Cattle and bison (buffalo) are also closely related enough to make babies with each other (called beefalo or cattalo). Freshstart 19:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
