If your only experience with donkeys is playing Donkey Kong than you're definitely missing out. You see, there's a reason that donkeys are known as "the King of Spain's trumpeter" (yep, that's a true fact) in fact if you're asking where the name for donkeys comes from, it's said to be derived from Spanish, because of these magnificent creatures don-like gravity.

We've sung the praises of these glorious beasts before, like in our article about miniature donkeys and in an epic article about the cutest donkey photos. We've never done an item about male donkeys, but if you ask: What is a male donkey called? Here's a fun fact, a male donkey is called a Jack! These underappreciated Jacks and Jills can be super funny and affectionate animals. Donkeys' physical strength matches only their super powerful hearts, because donkeys can be super sweet companions to all kinds of hoomans. So we hope you enjoy this donkey kong-tent!

Wow, look at these two twin boys in perfect synch. Are they brothers, twins, or just super good friends? Who can say. Fun fact, if you ever wondered "do donkeys produce milk?" They do, and it is quite expensive too because of the health benefits offered.
