Also known as Mule

The mule is a domestic equine hybrid between a donkey and a horse. It is the offspring of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare). The horse and the donkey are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes; of the two possible first-generation hybrids between them, the mule is easier to obtain and more common than the hinny, which is the offspring of a male horse (a stallion) and a female donkey (a jenny).

AI overview

A mule is a hybrid animal created by breeding a male donkey with a female horse, combining traits from both species. Mules are more commonly produced and easier to breed than the alternative hybrid (a hinny), making them the more practical choice for work purposes.
