It's a donkey! No, a Horse! Wait...it's a MULE! (Mule Day)

Half donkey, half horse, and a whole lot of personality. These hybrid offspring were first introduced to The United States as a gift from Spain during the Washington Administration (president #1). Muchas Gracias, Spain!

So, mules are sterile. No reason to sugar-coat it. Chromosomes will be chromosomes. They probably don't even know the difference between sterility and, um, virility. If you sympathize with this hybrid breed, squeeze some promotional mule stress balls to celebrate their importation on October 26, 1785!
