Tall ears. Huge teeth. Underestimated wit. And vocalizations that would make a songbird envious. Let’s talk donkeys with researcher and Director at The Donkey Sanctuary, Asinologist Dr. Faith Burden. We cover pop culture donkeys, their road to domestication, how much they can carry, whether you should ever saddle up on a donkey, mule genetics, zoo sexism, how to care for a donkey, what their noises mean, milky baths, emperor gossip, squats versus donkey kicks, and why these beautiful beasts deserve all of our love. Follow Dr. Burden on <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=KltkcgMAAAAJ&hl=en">Google Scholar</a>Visit The Donkey Sanctuary <a href="https://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/">website</a> and follow them on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/donkeysanctuary/">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@donkeysanctuary">TikTok</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/DonkeySanctuary">YouTube</a>A donation went to <a href="https://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/support-us/donate">The Donkey Sanctuary</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/asinology">More episode sources and links</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/egyptology">Egyptology (ANCIENT EGYPT)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/classical-archeology">Classical Archeology (ANCIENT ROME)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/momiology">Momiology (MUMMIFICATION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/gastroegyptology">Gastroegyptology (BREAD BAKING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/paleohistology">Paleohistology (WHY TEETH EXIST)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oreamnology">Oreamnology (MOUNTAIN GOATS ARE NOT GOATS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/chickenology">Chickenology (HENS & ROOSTERS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mammalogy">Mammalogy (MAMMALS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fromology">Fromology (CHEESE)</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo">Kelly R.
