WEIRD, YET TRUE ANIMA FACTS!

l Donkeys often live for 25

years or more.

l They are related to the

horse and zebra family.

l There are about 44 million

donkeys today. China has

the most with 11 million.

l A male donkey is called

a 'jack' and a female is

called a 'jennet' or 'jenny'.

l Donkeys are intelligent

and can't be forced into

doing something they don't

want to do. For example, it

may refuse to walk along

an unsafe path. That's why

donkeys have a reputation

of being headstrong.
