Donkey

The man domesticated a donkey at the time immemorial. The donkeys endure heat well, that is why in hot countries, people carry loads on donkeys and ride them. The donkeys are capable of great endurance and can do without water or food for a long time. True, the donkeys have a disadvantage, they are very stubborn. Not without reason it is said: "Stubborn as a donkey!" And if a donkey decides to stop, it is very difficult to move it.

The donkey is a close relative to the horse, but it is considerably lesser than the last. It has a big head and long sensitive ears, and a tail with a long bunch of hairs at the end. The color of its skin can be gray, and brown and black.

The she-ass gives birth to only one foal. She is a solicitous mother: she takes care of the young, protects it against all dangers, feeds it with milk. And the young donkey runs about next to the mother and, like all the young, it likes to play. It becomes adult at the age of 3.
