A cross between a female horse and a male donkey produces which animal?

A cross between a female horse and a male donkey produces a mule. This is a hybrid animal created through the mating of a mare (female horse) and a jack (male donkey). Mules inherit certain advantageous characteristics from both parents, including the strength and endurance of the donkey along with the size and agility of the horse, making them valuable working animals in various agricultural settings.

On the other hand, a hinny is the offspring of a male horse (stallion) and a female donkey (jennet), which is a different cross and has distinct physical traits and characteristics. A foal is simply a young horse, typically less than a year old, and is not specifically related to the crossbreeding of horses and donkeys. A bronco refers to a wild or untrained horse, often associated with rodeo events, and does not pertain to hybrid animals. Understanding these distinctions helps clarify the different types of equine hybrids and their classifications.
