The Ass. (Equus asinus.)
The Ass or Donkey, with which we are familiar, is a descendant
of the African wild Ass of Abyssinia, Nubia, and Somaliland.
Of these animals Sir Samuel Baker wrote those who have
seen 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 its 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".
