A donkey and burrow are different names for the same animal, a small hardy equine used as a pack animal. A jackass is a male donkey though the word is rarely used to describe the animal anymore, just rude jerks.

A mule is very different. It is larger and is the offspring of a mare and a male donkey. Mules are sterile and can only be made from this cross. They are used for hauling large loads in teams most often.

A burro is a small donkey.
Donkey is an a$s, Jackass is a male donkey.
A mule is cross between a female horse and male donkey. They are sterile.

All pack animals I'd imagine.

Donkey is just about the same as a Burro. Sort of like the difference between a black lab and a golden lab in dogs.
Jackass can be Donkey or mule...
Mule is a cross-breed between a horse and a Donkey.

a donkey and a mule are both used for farming and things like that, they are the same exact thing, so is a jackass, they are 3 used as different words for different parts of the country. A burro is like a mule except a bigger version, used for helping with larger farming equipment.
