Equus asinus asinus
The donkey or ass, Equus africanus asinus, is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family. The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African Wild Ass, E. africanus. The donkey has been used as a working animal for at least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in under-developed countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. Working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence levels. Small numbers of donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries. (Wikipedia)

You're right Keith. The color is more a pinkis cream. I did not see a donkey like it befor. It's even different from the "white" doenkey neabry at the lake "Neusiedel". See my spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/670....
It's hard to tell the color of the hair being this Donkey isnt well groomed (brushed) but it does seem to be very light colored than usual.
