The smallest is miniature, standard is medium sized and the largest are called mammoths, which are about the same size as a horse. Donkeys also come in a variety of colors, including black, white, brown, grey and even pink. They can also be multi-colored.

Dogs and donkeys don't get along at all. They will kick and bite at dogs and coyotes in a very effective manner. Especially popular in Central and South America and parts of Europe, donkeys are still widely used as work animals. It's estimated there are about 90 million donkeys worldwide, Matthews adds. For instance, we know that donkeys give birth to twins much more often than horses.
