MAMMALIA. 2/5 



Donkey of Cutch in size ; the stallions often stand 14 hands 

 high. Major Charlton and Major Biddulph state that they neigh 

 like a horse. When taken young they will become so tame as to be 

 led about like ahorse, and will follow horses almost anywhere. 

 They live in a climate where the temperature is below the freezing 

 point in the middle of the summer ; yet they throw off their pale 

 woolly coat during that season and become bright bay. Major 

 Charlton. 



The Donkey of Cutch is often domesticated in India. Ibid.
