Donkeys originated in the African Desert and are a descendant of the African Wild Ass. The African Wild Ass is one of the most endangered animals in the world. Wild donkeys, called burros, live in desert plains, where they can survive on little food and water for long periods. The weight of donkeys ranges up to 570 pounds. They have gray to reddish brown hair, long ears and small feet, with sharp hooves.
Donkey Stock at some point very long ago was taken to the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia and Sicily to be beasts of burden. These Islands are just off the coast of Italy. The Mini Donkeys in the USA today are mostly descended from this stock through a single importation in the 20s. The small size of the donkeys of Sicily and Sardinia more than likely resulted from selection for small size due to the small land mass of the Islands. Islanders had limited space and feed.
