The heaviest donkeys in the world. The Poitou donkey (French: Baudet du Poitou) is an endangered breed of large donkey named after the Poitou region (Poitou-Charentes, capital Poitiers) in western France. The breed has been known since the 11th century, but likely originated earlier. It was widespread in southwestern France. Today, however, only a few purebreds remain.
Poitou stallions are between 140 and 150cm tall, mares between 130 and 145cm tall. The Poitou donkey has a long, shaggy coat, mostly black-brown in color. The main food source for the Poitou donkeys is grass and hay. They can weigh up to 450 kg, making it the heaviest donkey in the world! The gestation period of the animals is between 360 and 370 days.
