It is common to see donkeys used as work animals in Jordan. There are approximately 18,000 donkeys in the country and two indigenous breeds. The gray-colored Qubressy is much larger than this Black donkey. He was standing patiently in front of a house in Uum Sayhoun. This village of 1,600 residents was formed in 1985 when the government evicted the Al Bdoul tribe from living in the caves at the archeological site of Petra.
