A mule is the infertile offspring of a horse and a donkey Mules have historically been used as mounts and beasts of burden,

especially in rough terrain such as mountains or the Grand Canyon. Mules are generally stronger than either horses or donkeys,

can tolerate more extreme temperatures, have greater endurance, are longer-lived, and may require less food and water
