The donkey is a domesticated hoofed mammal related to the horse, known for its long ears, sturdy build, and gentle temperament. Used worldwide as a working animal, donkeys are valued for their strength, endurance, and ability to carry heavy loads over rough terrain. They are social, intelligent, and can live up to 40 years. Donkeys communicate with brays and are often kept for companionship, agriculture, and transportation in many rural communities.
