Donkey Lifespan: Donkeys Enjoy Love

The Average Donkey Lifespan

The average donkey lifespan is 27 – 40 years in the wild. However, in good conditions, they have been known to live up to 50 years. In the wild, their lives are often shortened due to parasite infection or anatomical issues.

 

A few notable lifespan facts about varying species in different parts of the world:

• According to the Canadian Journal of Applied Sciences, a donkey’s life span in Ethiopia is 9 years, but with proper health care and nourishment, they may live up to 25 years.
• In Mexico, the average lifespan of a donkey is about 15 years.
• Female donkeys, also known as Jennies, are not maintained by donkey owners in various parts of the world because they “create issues and do not function properly.” As a result, the male-to-female ratio in such places is around 4:1, resulting in decreased donkey output.

 

As you can see, donkeys are able to live quite long lives with the right conditions. However, scarce amounts of food, insufficient or non-existent veterinary care, and severe labor loads all lead to shortening a donkey’s lifespan.

With some more background on the donkey lifespan, let’s explore their life cycle and how they grow from baby to adult.
