There are 2 hybrids of donkey and horse when bred depending on the sexes of the donkey and horse. If the donkey is male and the horse is female, the hybrid is a mule. On the other hand, if the donkey is female and the horse is a male the hybrid is a hinny. Most hybrid animals are sterile, meaning hybrid animal cannot conceive an offspring because hybrids cannot reproduce viable sex cells.
