All I know is what I read.  It seems they adapted to surviving on
minimal forages.

I searched the magazine and there is an online edition:
  http://www.ecmagazine.net/

Ironically, or synchronicitously<G>, the featured archive issue is the
'donkey' issue that I am holding!

http://www.ecmagazine.net/winter0708/ecwinter0708homepage.htm
That page lists the articles...
If you are interested in donkeys, I suggest these articles:
Equus Asinus: The Donkey by Jennifer Cofield
Donkey Feeding & Nutrition by Eduardo Valdes, PhD

The Cross story is okay if that is your thing, and I thought the story
about colors was okay as well.  Of course, too, there is an article
about miniature donkeys and the mammoth jackstock.

It seems to be a decent introduction to donkeys, but this is all the
knowledge I have...

debt  should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered
and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed
lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of
living on public assistance."
