What Do You Call a Baby Mule?

… I asked at work today, and I was told that a baby mule was a donkey. I don’t think so. I think the donkey is usually the father.

There is a pasture next to the apartment complex – actually between where I live and where I work. About ten days ago, I started noticing that the horses in the pasture were having babies.

Now, I know a baby horse is a foal – and it’s also either a filly or a colt depending on gender. Some of the babies in the pasture might be foals, but I’m not sure about some of the others.

I think this little guy is a newborn. He’s really unsteady on his legs and I don’t remember seeing him yesterday.

And just like cria, these little ones are finding the grass is a long way down.
