MULE
Hybrid offspring of
the jackass (male ass) and the mare, much used and valued in many
parts of the world as a beast of burden. The head, ears, croup,
and tail resemble those of the ass, but in bulk and stature the
mule resembles the horse, and seems to excel both its parents in
sagacity, muscular endurance, surefootedness, and length of life.
The hinny is the hybrid offspring of the jenny (female ass) and
the stallion (male horse). It has a bushier tail and a heavier
body than the mule and is by nature a more tractable animal. Male
mules are generally sterile, but sterility is not a necessary
consequence of hybridization. Female mules have been successfully
crossed with horses or asses to produce foals.
