Equus asinus

Equus asinus
Equus asinus
ASS

The correct term for the animal commonly known as the donkey, burro, or jackstock. The term comes from the original Latin term for the animal which was Asinus. You are never at fault when you refer to one of these animals as an ass, and the term is not improper unless you misuse it like some "jackass". The term used for the male of the ass species is "Jack". "Jennet" pronounced JEN-et, is the correct term for the female.

LMAO!

Have a nice night!
