Donkey

El burro o asno, Equus africanus asinus, es un miembro domesticado de la familia de caballos, Equidae. El antepasado salvaje del burro es el asno salvaje africano, E. africanus. El burro se ha utilizado como animal de trabajo durante al menos 5000 años. Hay más de 40 millones de burros en el mundo, sobre todo en los países subdesarrollados, donde se utilizan principalmente como animales de tiro o de empaque. Los burros de trabajo se asocian a menudo a los que viven en o debajo de los niveles de subsistencia. Pequeños números de burros se mantienen para la cría o como mascotas en los países desarrollados. Un burro o un asno masculino se llama un gato, una hembra un jenny o un jennet; Un burro joven es un potro. Los burros Jack se utilizan a menudo para producir mulas. Los asnos fueron domesticados por primera vez alrededor de 3000 aC, probablemente en Egipto o Mesopotamia, y se han extendido por todo el mundo. Ellos continúan desempeñando papeles importantes en muchos lugares hoy. Mientras que las especies domesticadas están aumentando en número, el asno salvaje africano y otro pariente, el onager, están en peligro. Como bestias de carga y compañeros, asnos y burros han trabajado con seres humanos durante milenios.

There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in underdeveloped 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. A male donkey or ass is called a jack, a female a jenny or jennet; a young donkey is a foal. Jack donkeys are often used to produce mules. Asses were first domesticated around 3000 BC, probably in Egypt or Mesopotamia, and have spread around the world. They continue to fill important roles in many places today. While domesticated species are increasing in numbers, the African wild ass and another relative, the onager, are endangered. As beasts of burden and companions, asses and donkeys have worked together with humans for millennia.
