Donkey is a common domesticated animal, widely used in human production and life. They are known for their tough character, hard-working characteristics, and good adaptability. Donkeys are relatively small, with long, upright ears and usually coarse hair, which varies in color from gray to black to brown. These characteristics make the donkey confused with horses in some areas, but the donkey is smaller and sturdier.

Donkeys are generally docile in nature, but can also show stubbornness when threatened. They have higher intelligence, strong learning ability and can remember complex routes and tasks. This characteristic makes donkeys still an important means of transport in some areas, especially in mountainous or rugged terrain, where their flexibility and endurance make them ideal. Donkeys can not only carry goods, but are sometimes used as farming tools in fields to help farmers complete heavy labor.

The symbolism of the donkey is also rich in culture. In the folklore and stories of many countries, donkeys represent the spirit of perseverance and hard work. Their images are often combined with humor and wit, making them popular characters in children's stories. At the same time, the donkey is also a traditional totem of some cultures, symbolizing persistence and loyalty.

Donkeys are relatively inexpensive to raise, making them suitable for small farms and family farming. They do not have high feed requirements and can adapt to a variety of diets, mainly on grass and hay. In addition, donkeys' ability to adapt to the environment also allows them to survive in harsh conditions, becoming an important source of income for residents in some poor areas.

However, donkeys also face some challenges in their living environment. With the advancement of urbanization and the development of modern agriculture, many small-scale agricultural activities are gradually replaced by mechanization, and the role of donkeys as traditional labor is gradually threatened.
