Onager

The Onager (aka the Asian Wild Ass) are Endangered relatives of donkeys that inhabit desert land in Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India, Israel, and Tibet. Just like some of it's wild cousins, the onager is troubled by hunting and habitat loss. It may be only a little larger than a donkey, but be warned. It is notable that an onager can't be trained, unlike it's donkey cousins. Need help distinguishing them? Well I suppose you know what a donkey looks like. Onagers are a little larger than donkeys at about 290 kg and 2.1 metres (head-body length), and are a little more horse-like. They are short-legged compared to horses, and their coloring varies depending on the season. They are generally reddish-brown in color during the summer, becoming yellowish-brown in the winter months. They have a black stripe bordered in white that extends down the middle of the back.
