Species identification

For the final project of the course “Human Animal Interactions – ANSC 305”, I have chosen to talk about donkeys. Donkeys are currently classified as a domestic animal in our society, belonging to the phylogenetic Family Equidae, in which the famous horses are also included. Their scientific name is Equus africanus asinus.
