Can donkeys have babies?
Yes. It is mules and hinnies that cannot have offspring.

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).

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.

What would Phenotype of male and female offspring be?
There is nothing particularly distinct about male and female mules. As a rule, though, there is a difference between mules and hinnies. About 80% of hinnies look exactly like mules but about 10% look very much like horses and another 10% look very much like donkeys. The quality of a mule depends on the quality of its parents, of course.

Elephants, turtles, all equines (zebras, domestic and wild horses alike, donkeys, mules, hinnies, etc.), and possibly rhinos--though they don't have a full or "complete" circular track like that of an elephant--all have circular tracks.

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.
