Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass." - Mark Twain

Are donkeys really stubborn? Donkeys, due to their origins on the steep, rough mountains of their native land, are all about self preservation and are very cautious. They will not get themselves into the trouble that a horse would. A horse's instinct is run away, whereas the donkey's is to look the situation over and determine the best approach. Their ability to stop and assess a situation is what has earned them their reputation for being stubborn. You could say it is like being "on donkey time". They will do what they want when they want and thats the way it is when on donkey time.
