ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО DONKEY
осел
Осел или задница, Equus africanus asinus, является одомашненным членом семейства лошадей, Equidae. Диким предком осла является африканская дикая задница, E. africanus. Осел использовался как работающее животное в течение как минимум 5000 лет. В мире насчитывается более 40 миллионов ослов, главным образом в слаборазвитых странах, где они используются главным образом как черновики или животные. Рабочие ослы часто связаны с теми, кто живет на уровне или ниже прожиточного уровня. Небольшое количество ослов хранится для разведения или как домашних животных в развитых странах. Мужского осла или осла называют гнездом, самкой дженни или дженнет; молодой ослик - жеребенка. Джек ослы часто используются для производства мулов. Асы были впервые одомашнены около 3000 г. до н.э., вероятно, в Египте или Месопотамии, и распространились по всему миру. Сегодня они продолжают выполнять важные роли во многих местах. В то время как число одомашненных видов увеличивается, африканская дикая задница и еще один родственник, онгер, находятся под угрозой исчезновения. Как звери бремена и товарищей, ослы и ослы работали вместе с людьми на протяжении тысячелетий.
