But there are hybrids from a female lion and a male tiger that

and those are called tigons.

Oh, so there's another new word, and the way to remember those is that the male animal comes first in both of those portmanteaus.

Even though the female grows the thing and it does the birthing, also female ligers and tigons can sometimes reproduce, but the males are always sterile.

But it's asinine.

Back to asinus.

And when I think of a donkey, I also, I can't help but think of mini donkeys because I've seen them and they're tiny and adorable.

But when it comes to the size of a donkey, what's going on with mini donkeys?

Where do those come from?

Are they doing okay?

What's the deal?

I didn't know this, but one hand is four inches or just over 10 centimeters.

And the height of a horse or a donkey, it starts at the ground and it goes up to the withers, which is right between its shoulder blades.

And yeah, hands is a unit,

based on thousands of years of using your hand or a man's hand really as a ruler.

And that's called anthropic measurement.

And it just, it strikes me as so weird that we just use a body part as a measuring tool.

But then I remembered I'm five foot five, five foot feet tall.

or 25 hands.

So yeah, we should all be using the metric system, but America has a lot of problems, so that's low on the list.
