Donkey

A donkey is a domesticated animal closely related to the horse, known scientifically as Equus africanus asinus. Historically, donkeys have been used as work animals, particularly for carrying loads and as livestock. They are known for their strong build, endurance, and distinctive braying sound. Donkeys have a reputation for being stubborn, but this often stems from their cautious nature. They are socially intelligent and can form strong bonds with humans and other animals. Donkeys are also increasingly recognized for their therapeutic benefits and can be used in animal-assisted activities due to their gentle disposition.
