Donkey - a species of equine, large head, long ears, thin tail, small hooves, brays.
Mule - cross between a MALE donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). Usually sterile.
Hinny - cross between a FEMALE donkey (jenny) and a male horse (stallion). Rarer than a mule because it is more difficult to get a stallion to breed a jenny, and the jenny has a harder time concieving with a horse. Smaller than a mule (the offspring grows to its mother's size) and looks a bit more like a horse, but with ears longer than a horse's, shorter than a mule or donkey's. Also sterile.

A donkey is its own species. A mule is a cross between a male doneky and a female horse. A mule cannot reproduce 99% of the time with any other creature, including other mules.

A mule is the result of breeding a jack (male borro) to a mare. The foal you get when you breed a horse stallion to a mare borro is called a Henny ( most of the time they will have a more horse like tail, shorter ears and a smaller head. they are also considered to be mules. Either cross is supposed to be steril. but there have been a few instances in history where a mule mare has had a foal. Horses and Mules have a different number of chromosones. Ponies are always under 14'2" A donkey and a burro are the same thing. A Mamoth Jack is just a very large borro.

A mule is a donkey crossed with a horse (and is sterile)
A donkey is a species from the horse family and is distantly related to horses. Donkeys can breed with other donkeys and produce viable offspring.
Donkeys are usually gray and fuzzy with longer ears.
Mules usually look just like horses but have longer ears and most can bray.

a mule is a horse/donkey hybrid,and the best way to describe the average mule would be they're horse in the middle bits and a donkey at the extremities

A donkey is a donkey.
A mule is a cross between a donkey and a horse.
Donkeys and horses are closely related species. So they can produce viable offspring (i.e. mules).
However, their offspring (mules) are sterile, so they cannot have babies.
