facts:

Donkeys have an incredible memory - they can recognise other donkeys
or animals, or even areas they were at - up to 25 years ago.

-
Donkeys milk was once valued as a medicine and was given to premature
babies, sick children and to people suffering from tuberculosis. The
milk of a donkey contains much more sugar and protein than cow’s
milk and also has less fat.

- Donkeys originate from desert areas
of the Earth. In the desert environment a donkey is able to hear the
call of another donkey 60 miles away, because donkeys have far larger
ears than horses. Their large ears also help keep them cool.

-
The Roman Army moved donkeys into Northern Europe. The Romans were
using them in agriculture, vineyards and as pack animals. Donkeys
came to England with the Roman invasion of Britain.

- Donkeys
don't like being kept on their own. A single donkey will live quite
happily even with some goats.

complex digestive system. It could break down almost inedible
vegetation and at the same time extract and save as much moisture as
possible.
