Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey.
Domesticated donkeys (Equus asinus) are found all over the world, but prefer dry and warm areas. They are hardy animals that can live with little food and water. While they like to eat grass, they also eat shrubs and desert plants.
The highest number of donkeys can be found in Ethiopia, followed by China and Pakistan. Outside of Africa, Mexico, Iran and Afghanistan make it into the Top 5.
