Printouts Donkeys are large, hoofed mammals that live in family groups on grasslands. Donkeys live for about 30 to 50 years in captivity, and about 10 to 25 years in the wild. A jack foal is a young male and a jennet foal is a young female. The donkey is closely related to the zebra and the horse . The hooves and teeth continue to grow throughout the donkey's life.
Donkeys have long, coarse fur.
The donkey's brain, eyes, and ears are larger than those of horses.
