Donkey Foal - 249929

A foal is a baby donkey. Grown male donkeys are jacks, and grown females are jennets. Although resembling a horse, donkeys have several unique characteristics, including longer ears, larger eyes, stronger hooves, and a distinct braying call. Scientific Name: Equus asinus Characteristics: Like horses, this donkey foal has longer legs disproportionate to its body size. This accommodation ensured that young animals could begin to walk and run quickly and thereby survive in the wild. Size and Color: This 2 ¾-inch-long donkey foal displays the greyish brown color that gives the donkey its English name, which comes from the old English word donkey, meaning greyish brown. A white underside and black mane and tail add contrast. The Donkey Foal is part of the Safari Farm collection. All of our products are Non-toxic and BPA-free.
