The Dongola donkey, also known as the Dongolawi donkey, is a breed of donkey found in the northern regions of Sudan, including the Dongola region for which it is named. Dongola donkeys are known for their strength and endurance, making them well-suited for life in hot and arid environments. They are typically medium to large in size, with a height ranging from 14 to 15 hands (56 to 60 inches) at the shoulder. Dongola donkeys have a muscular build and strong legs, and are known for their smooth gait and good temperaments. They come in a variety of colors, including black, grey, brown, and white. This breed is highly valued in the region for its use as a pack animal and for transportation. Despite their importance to local communities, the Dongola donkey population is facing threats from habitat loss and competition from other livestock species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and preserve this unique and valuable breed.
