We have a new white mule at the Lowcountry Zoo. She can be seen at the Plantation Barn. Some of you may remember Polly, our white mule that has retired to a grass pasture (and is lovingly spoiled by vet technicians).
Mules are a cross between a male donkey and a female horse. Mules generally cannot have babies of their own because they are a mix of two different species.
Mules were used as labor animals when this property was a rice plantation. They are hard-working, but will not overwork themselves or put themselves in a dangerous situation. This has led to the belief that all mules are stubborn.
