The English
and Irish Donkey is known as a Moke by Welsh Gypsies
and as a Cuddy in Scotland. They are also known as Asses
and Burros, like all other donkeys. Enlish and Irish
Donkeys are efficient to keep as they work hard and
require less feed than horses. They are very intelligent,
as well as being patient and sure-footed. They also
have a very loud voice that can carry for miles. They
are often used as pack animals. Male donkeys can be
somewhat aggressive. Donkeys are social animals and
should not be removed from its mother until they are
full-grown. Some donkeys can live as many as sixty years,
but rarely do they exceed forty years. They can appear
in a variety of colors, including black, white and shades
of gray and brown. Donkeys have very large ears, which
enables them to hear their fellows braying from far
away.
