Can donkeys have babies?
Yes. It is mules and hinnies that cannot have offspring.
What is the name for the offspring male horse and female donkey?
A hinny, though most people refer to this and the other cross as mules. Some hinnies can be mistaken for horses.
Hybrid offspring of male horse and female ass?
This is a hinny. As mule-breeders say, "Mules can do it all!" Hinny breeders add "... but hinnies do it better". Because of the shortage of large donkeys most hinnies are pony-sized but it is possible to breed a large hinny from a jenny of around 14.2hh and a horse of 14.2-16.2hh. In Cyprus, there are lots of very high quality hinnies, bred from jennies of around 14hh and palfreys of Arab type in the same height range. The only thing to avoid when breeding a mule or a hinny is a pure-bred Arab. If you're looking to breed an Arab-type mule, go for a part-bred Arab or Anglo-Arab and cross it with an elegant donkey of good size (14hh or more).
Are their female mules?
Yes, mules can be either male or female. They are anatomically normal, but male mules are sterile. Most female mules are also sterile, but there are rare cases where a female mule can give birth.Some people have heard that mules are male and hinnies are female. This is incorrect. Both mules (donkey jack x horse mare) and hinnies (horse stallion x donkey jennet) can be either male or female.

Can donkeys have babies?

Can donkys mate?
Donkeys can mate and reproduce, either with other donkeys or with horses to produce hybrid offspring called mules or hinnies. Mules are the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare), while hinnies are the offspring of a female donkey (jenny) and a male horse (stallion).

Why are horses and donkeys considered different species even though they can?
Horses and Donkeys are considered separate due to the different number of chromosomes each possesses. They are however in the same family and can breed together to produce mules and hinnies, which also have a different number of chromosomes and are typically sterile.
Which animal has bigger ears than humans?
A mouse has small ears but their small ears can help them hear things that are quite far away.
Can a mustang horse be male and female?
Yes but it's normally called a hinny. Most hinnies look the same as mules but a small proportion look very much like horses and a similar number look rather like donkeys. Mules can bray like donkeys but hinnies can't. The only sure way to tell a mule from a hinny is to have it karyotyped.
What would Phenotype of male and female offspring be?
The phenotype of male and female offspring is determined by the combination of genes they inherit from their parents. This can result in a wide variety of physical characteristics, behaviors, and traits that make each individual unique. As a result, the phenotypes of male and female offspring can vary widely, even within the same family.
