An ass, or donkey, is a species all its own that can reproduce. A mule is the sterile offspring of a donkey and a horse. Sterile means that it cannot reproduce, due to horses and donkeys not having the same amount of chromosomes.

A donkey, cousin to the horse, is usually smaller with long ears, long back and a mane and tail that is closer to a zebra. A mule is a horse/donkey cross. The only way to get a mule is to cross breed the horse and donkey.
