    What is created when a donkey and horse are crossed? 

    • Zebra

    • Mule

    • Donkey

    • They can't breed

    Correct Answer
    A. Mule
    Explanation
    When a donkey and horse are crossed, a mule is created. Mules are the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). They inherit characteristics from both parents, such as the donkey's strength and endurance, and the horse's size and speed. Mules are known for their intelligence and hardiness, making them valuable working animals. They are sterile and cannot breed, which is why they are commonly used as pack animals rather than for reproduction.

    The correct answer is Gallop. Gallop is a four-beat gait where the horse has a moment of suspension between each stride.

The gallop is the fastest gait of a horse, and it is often used in horse racing or when the horse needs to cover a large distance quickly.

    A horse knows when its full and stops eating. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Horses do not have the ability to know when they are full and stop eating. They are known to be grazers and will continue to eat if food is available. This behavior can sometimes lead to overeating and potential health issues such as obesity or colic. Therefore, the statement that a horse knows when it is full and stops eating is false.
