mule (sh)




Offspring of a male ass and a female horse.

The less common cross of a female ass and a male horse is called a hinny. Most mules are sterile. The mule resembles the horse in height and in shape of neck and croup (rump); it resembles the ass in its long ears, small hooves, and short mane. The coat is usually brown or bay. Mules are 12-17.5 hands (50-70 in., 120-180 cm) high and weigh 600-1,500 lbs (275-700 kg). They have been used as pack animals for at least 3,000 years because of their ability to withstand hardships.
