The Ass. (Equus asinus.) The Ass or Donkey, with which we are familiar, in a descendant of the African wild Ass of Abyssinia, Nubia, and Somaliland. Of these animals Sir Samuel Baker wrote "those who have sen Donkeys only in their civilized state can have no conception of the beauty of the wild or original animal. It is the perfection of activity and courage. It has a high-bred tone in itd deport.ment, a high-action step when it trots freely over the rocks and sands, with the speed of a horse when it gallops over the boundless desert." |
