"Determining how long an animal can live depends on many different factors, especially when talking about an animal as diverse as the donkey!"
"Donkeys are a very long-term commitment as they commonly outlive most horses. There is a reason the term “donkey years” means a long time!"
"The average lifespan of a domestic donkey in an ideal environment is from 27 to 40 years. There are many factors of care and environment that can impact this lifespan, however."
"Donkeys form strong bonds and are very social. An ideal environment for any donkey includes one or more companions of similar size."
