Talk:Donkey

Donkeys are *not* "reputed to be ... of low intelligence", as claimed in the article. They are generally acknowleged to be smarter than horses, and with a more well-developed sense of self preservation, hence the behaviors that sometimes lead people to call them "stubborn". It is difficult to force or frighten them into doing things that they see as against their own best interests. But stubborn or not, they are quite bright, friendly, sociable, and eager to learn.
Hi. I linked this page from wiki-jp. Regretfully I can't put a new link to wiki-jp. Sorry.
Gestation period?

All "head-down" photos but one
Is there any particular reason why all but the last photo show the animal munching on the grass? It'd be nice if some of these breed photos showed one in a "head-up" position. slambo 16:17, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
Question hieght and weight
What is the weight and height of the typical burro or donkey? Or if that isn't meaningful perhaps wieght (aproximate) of an hieght of several different sizes.
Why does Asinine redirect here? I never considered it to come from 'ass' and even if it did.. it's not mentioned in the article.
Conservation status
I have changed this from vulnerable to secure. Donkeys are numerous and bread as domesticated animals. If I am missing something, please correct me Psychofox 23:46, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
Removal of images
The page is getting a bit crowded and it might be worth removing some of the images. Not being familiar with donkeys, I am not knowledgable in what constitutes an archetypal donkey so I have left this for someone else... Thanks!!! --postglock 16:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
