Donkeys are of a powerful, sturdy build. They have a grey coat and white coloring around the snout and eyes.
The
donkey has been serving mankind for thousands of years and can be used
for a variety of tasks. Donkeys are very efficient mammals. They support
the farmer at his work, transport loads, sire mules, keep horses
company, tend sheep and are even kept as pets. In many regions they are
also appreciated for their ability to live in the desert. Thanks to
their robust stomachs and an ability to extract water from food, donkeys
are superior to horses in that aspect. Donkeys were well-known for
their use in war and their general reliability.
Their numbers and
popularity continue to grow.
