Catalan donkey edit
Bit of an oversight not to mention the Catalan donkey even in the 'See also' section. It would make most sense to have a 'varieties' or 'breeds' section and then mention the Burro, Catalan donkey and perhaps wild breeds. I'm sure there are other varieties out there too with pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.172.66.58 (talk • contribs) at 1:10 on 20 Sept 2020 (UTC)
Origins edit
Article: "It was domesticated in Africa some 5000–7000 years ago"
Africa is a big place and this statement is prone to misconceptions. The Donkey was domesticated in Northern Africa and the Horn of Africa. It wasn't introduced to Southern and Eastern Africa until very recently (<500 years ago). 2001:8003:70F5:2400:9107:C71E:CFB9:9AAE (talk) 23:17, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
