Product Information

The offspring of a zebra-donkey cross is called a zonkey, zebroid, zebrass, or zedonk; [82] zebra mule is an older term, but still used in some regions today. The foregoing terms generally refer to hybrids produced by breeding a male zebra to a female donkey. Zebra hinny, zebret and zebrinny all refer to the cross of a female zebra with a male donkey. Zebrinnies are rarer than zedonkies because female zebras in captivity are most valuable when used to produce full-blooded zebras. [83] There are not enough female zebras breeding in captivity to spare them for hybridizing; there is no such limitation on the number of female donkeys breeding. Some commercial aquariums keep this fish in their collections. To meet their social needs, they house them in schools, usually in large pelagic-style tanks with lots of space to swim. He possesses tremendous strength and stamina, which is enhanced by his fish-man heritage. He has also fought with the Mink Tribe, including its two rulers Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, for five days and five nights without rest. Despite this, he had to use a chemical weapon to finally defeat them all. [49] a b c Paul Starkey, Malcolm Starkey (1997). " Regional and world trends in donkey populations".

However, they can be of important concern to gardeners, allotment owners and others. In high densities muntjac may prevent coppice regeneration and contribute to the loss of some plants of conservation importance, such as primulas.

Characteristically, they have a ‘hunched’ appearance, as their rumps are higher than their shoulders. They have a wide, flat tail, which is raised erect to display a white underside when disturbed.

All of this led to the use of “ass” to be considered somewhat of a derogatory term. Even Shakespeare in Midsummer Night’s Dream used “to make an ass of oneself” to mean “to make a fool of oneself.” Donkeys". Young People's Trust for the Environment.

Unlike horses, donkeys aren't easily startled. Even when they are, they don't panic. Donkeys stop to assess the situation, a trait that's commonly confused with stubbornness. This surefootedness paired with strength — they can carry up to twice their own body weight — make them ideal " beasts of burden." These creatures are still used for transporting goods around the world, although other common uses like sheep and cattle protection play into the donkey's lesser-known strengths. Once a donkey bonds with a herd of sheep, cattle or goats, it will protect the animals as it would its own, keeping dogs and coyotes at bay. Does are capable of breeding at seven months old. After a gestation period of seven months, they give birth to a single fawn and are ready to mate again within a few days. Lucas-Zenk, Carolyn (August 21, 2011). "When Donkeys Fly". West Hawaii Today.

Fishermen often target this fish in both commercial and recreational settings. In sport fisheries, people target this species for its powerful swimming. Where some commercial fisheries face population decline, this species has strong numbers.
