Donkeys are related to horses; both are part of  the equine family. Another way people say it is BOOR-oh. [A]The name[/A] comes  from Spanish and, before that, from a Latin term for small horse.Burros  reach an average height of over a meter and can weigh more than two  hundred twenty-five kilograms. The long-eared animals are often gray  with[A] white noses[/A], jaws and undersides. But they can also have coats of[A] red or blue[/A] .Burros are known for their sure footing on [A]mountains[/A]  while carrying heavy loads. In the United States, they are best known  for their history as pack animals in[A] the desert[/A] Southwest. In fact,  burros in the wild are related to pack animals that ran away or were  freed by gold miners and others.But burros are not only good  pack animals. They can also help calm and control nervous horses and  guard sheep and goats [A]on farms[/A]. Robin Rivello works with the New Jersey  chapter of the American Mustang and Burro Association. She says [A]burros[/A]  have protected farm animals even against bears.People may have  the idea that burros and donkeys do not like being told what to do. But  [A]experts [/A]say the animals are not being [A]stubborn[/A]; they just like to take  their time considering what they will do.In the United States,  there are breeders who raise and sell burros. Or Americans can buy a  burro taken from the wild by a [A]federal agency[/A], the Bureau of Land  Management.People who get a wild burro need to "gentle" the  animal. "Gentling" means training it to accept the human [A]attention[/A]  needed for care and grooming.Burros like to clean each other.  But these desert animals groom themselves with dust instead of water. So  it is normal for a burro to have some dirt in its coat. A brush can  remove hardened mud.Experts like Robin Rivello advise owners not  to let their burros eat too much. Being fat can ruin their health.  Overweight burros can also [A]develop[/A] a condition that threatens their  well-known walking ability.Robin Rivello says a burro's feet  should be cleaned and cared for every six to eight[A] weeks[/A]. But she warns  owners not to raise the feet as high as with [A]a horse[/A]. A burro's legs  differ from a horse's legs. The pain could make the burro kick.And that's the VOA Special English AGRICULTURE REPORT, written by Jerilyn Watson. Transcripts, MP3s and podcasts of our reports are at voaspecialenglish.com.
