- As per a 2012 census, there were 9,183 donkeys in Tamil Nadu.
- But their population came down to 1,428 in 2019.
- The donkeys in Tamil Nadu are dark grey in colour with the mark of a cross on their back.
- Now, the owners cross-breed them with donkeys from other States and this may result in the extinction of the local species
- The dung of donkeys is placed in septic tanks, as it has a high level of microorganisms, and prevents tanks from overflowing.
- Across the world, beauty products with donkey milk as an ingredient are popular, and quite expensive.
