Donkey

Equus africanus asinus

Description:

Donkeys vary considerably in size, depending on breed and management. The height at the withers ranges from 80 to 160 cm (31 to 63 in), and the weight from 80 to 480 kg (180 to 1060 lb). Donkeys have a lifespan of 30 to 50 years. Donkeys have a notorious reputation for stubbornness, and aggresiveness. They have sexual reproduction that consists with a male (Jack) and a female (Jenny). When Jennies are pregnant they carry the baby for 12 months until it is in labor. When they have the baby it is usually one and they rarely get twins.

Habitat:

Wild Donkeys lives seperated from eachother in a hot/warm climate. They don't need much traits for the environment other then learning how to survive and run away from predators. The Donkey eats plants and they get eaten by predators like a wild cougar, Lion (If they live in Asia) and other wild cats. The donkey doesn't share a symbiotic relationship with another species. They usually live in a certain area for about a month or so
