What's the technical difference between horses' donkey's, zebra's etc..?

Answer 1

zebras wear pyjamas x

Answer 2

A mule is the end results of breeding a jack (male borro) to a mare. The foal you get once you breed a horse stallion to a mare borro is called a Henny ( a good type of the time they could have a extra horse like tail, shorter ears and a smaller head. also they're seen to be mules. both go is meant to be steril. yet there have been some circumstances in heritage the position a mule mare has had a foal. Horses and Mules have a unique type of chromosones. Ponies are continually lower than 14'2" A donkey and a burro are an same element. A Mamoth Jack is purely an somewhat large borro.

Answer 3

Well bear, they are all part of the equine family but are different species. for example a mountain gorilla and an orangutan are both from the Ape family but are different species. hope this helps.

the difference between a horse and a pony is that a pony height is only up to 14hand 2 inches and a horse is anything over 14hands 2 inches.

Answer 4

They have all adapted to their specific ennvironment over the years - Darwins theory of natural selection. The animals with that specific characteristic has survived and repoduced making it mre exaggerated in the species.

Hope this helps

Answer 5

they can't reproduce to form fertile offspring
they have more or less the same physiological, biochemical and behavioural characteristics but because they can't produce fertile offspring when cross bred only hybrids they are classed as seperate speicies. all from the same genus though: EQUUS

Answer 6

The donkey has bigger ears than the others

Answer 7

They are subspecies of the genus Equus.

;-D Four legged hoofed I guess

Answer 8

The horse (Equus caballus, sometimes seen as a subspecies of the Wild Horse, Equus ferus caballus) is a large odd-toed ungulate mammal, one of ten modern species of the genus Equus. Horses have long been among the most economically important domesticated animals; although their importance has declined with mechanization, they are still found worldwide, fitting into human lives in various ways. The horse is prominent in religion, mythology, and art; it has played an important role in transportation, agriculture, and war; it has additionally served as a source of food, fuel, and clothing.

Horses first evolved in the Americas, but went extinct there until reintroduced by Europeans. While isolated domestication may have occurred as early as 10,000 years ago, the first clear evidence dates to c. 5000 BC, and becomes widespread only after 2000 BC. Selective breeding since that time has produced numerous breeds. Some can be ridden, usually with a saddle, while other breeds can be harnessed to pull objects such as carriages or plows. In some societies, horses are a source of food, both meat and milk; in others it is taboo to consume them. In industrialized countries horses are predominantly kept for leisure and sporting pursuits, while they are still used as working animals in many other parts of the world.

The donkey or jackass, Equus asinus, is a domesticated animal of the horse family, Equidae.

In its common modern meaning, a mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. Compare hinny – the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey. The term "mule" (Latin mulus) was formerly applied to the offspring of any two creatures of different species – in modern usage, a "hybrid".

The mule, easier to breed and usually larger in size than a hinny, has monopolised the attention of breeders. The chromosome match-up more often occurs when the jack (male donkey) is the sire and the mare (female horse) is the dam. Sometimes people let a stallion (male horse) run with a jenny (female donkey) for as long as six years before getting her pregnant. Mules and hinnies are almost always sterile (see fertile mules below for rare cases) (see External links). The sterility is attributed to the different number of chromosomes the two species have: donkeys have 62 chromosomes, while horses have 64. Their offspring thus have 63 chromosomes which cannot evenly divide.

A female mule, called a "molly", that has estrus cycles and can carry a fetus, as has occasionally happened naturally but also through embryo transfer. The difficulty is in getting the molly pregnant in the first place.

From experience, mules are generally considered to be more intelligent than either horses or donkeys.

The Zebra is a part of the horse family, Equidae, native to central and southern Africa. They are most well known for their distinctive black and white stripes.

The onager (Equus hemionus) is a large mammal belonging to the horse family and native to the deserts of Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India, and Tibet. It is sometimes known as the half *** or the Asian Wild ***.

Like many other large grazing animals, its range has contracted greatly under the pressures of hunting and habitat loss, and of the six subspecies, one is extinct and two endangered. The kiang (E. kiang), a Tibetan relative, was previously considered to be a subspecies of the onager as E. hemionus kiang, but recent molecular studies indicate that it is a distinct species.

Onagers are a little larger than donkeys at about 290 kg and 2.1 metres (head-body length), and are a little more horse-like. They are short-legged compared to horses, and their coloring varies depending on the season. They are generally reddish-brown in color during the summer, becoming yellowish-brown in the winter months. They have a black stripe bordered in white that extends down the middle of the back. Onagers were used in ancient Sumer to pull chariots, circa 2600 BC.

Equidae is the family of horse-like animals, order Perissodactyla. It is sometimes known as the horse family. Apart from the horses, other extant equids include the donkey, the four zebras and the onager. All of these are in the genus Equus.

Answer 9

They're a different species!

Answer 10

location, location, location.
