Descrizione Recensioni

Surprisingly little has been recorded about the misunderstood mule, and this book is the most comprehensive available, dispelling many of the popular myths associated with this man-made hybrid. Mules have been bred for around 3.000 years, because not only do they inherit the best qualities from each parent - the strength and speed of the horse, the stamina and patience of the donkey - but have in addition unique and mysterious qualities which are pure mule. The history of the mule is covered, with special emphasis on it use for military purposes, where it has been found invaluable over the centuries. A fascination chapter examines the scientific aspects of a hybrid, and details the recently proven and intriguing facts about the occasional fertility of mules.
