Species Overview

A perissodactyl (family Equidae) descended from the African wild ass (Equus africanus), domesticated ~5,000 years ago in northeastern Africa. Adults weigh 100โ€“450 kg depending on breed, standing 80โ€“160 cm at shoulder. They have a large head, long ears (much longer than horse earsโ€”excellent for thermoregulation and hearing in arid environments), a short, upright mane, a tufted tail, and narrow hooves evolved for rocky, dry terrain. Coat is typically gray to brown with a darker dorsal stripe and shoulder cross. They are remarkably hardy, sure-footed, and efficient with food and waterโ€”thriving in arid conditions where horses cannot. They are herbivorous, eating coarse grasses, browse, and bark. Despite the reputation for stubbornness, they are intelligent and cautious rather than flighty. They are used as pack, draft, and riding animals, and as livestock guardians. Crossbreeding with horses produces mules (โ™‚ donkey ร— โ™€ horse) and hinnies (โ™‚ horse ร— โ™€ donkey), which are sterile. Gestation: ~12 months, one foal. Global population: ~50 million. Lifespan: 25โ€“30 years. 2n=62.
