Breed: Asinara
Species: Ass
Description: The Asinara donkeys are considered fully grown at 30 months. Your withers size is given as 80-105 cm. In contrast to other donkey species, the Asinara donkeys do not have an eel line on their backs. The Asinara donkey's mane is short and shaggy. The white color of the fur is believed to be due to incomplete albinism. Like many small donkey species, including the Asinara donkey, the statue of the donkey is stocky with small hooves.
Dissemination: As the name suggests, the Asinara donkeys live almost exclusively on the 51.0 km² island off Sardinia. However, there are also offspring that are kept in zoos. It is believed that the Asinara donkeys were imported from Egypt by the Duke of Asinara at the beginning of the 20th century. Since the Asinara donkeys are frugal and robust, they live in the wild habitats of the Asinara island.
History: Its mysterious origins are still being investigated. According to legend, the donkeys came to the island through the sinking of an Egyptian ship, while others were imported directly from Egypt by the Duke of Asinara (1800). Current testimonies tell of the presence of the white donkey at the end of the last century
