ASSES,DONKEYS AND MULES
The ass and the donkey are both members of the horse family. An ass lives in the wild;a donkey is a domesticated ass that has been selectively bred by people. A mule is a completely different animal because it is a cross between a horse and a donkey.
RABBITS AND HARES
Hares are larger than rabbits . Their hind feet and ears, in particular are longer than those of rabbits. A hare is born with fur and with its eyes open while a rabbit when born does not have hair and its eyes are temporarily closed .
RATS AND MICE
Rats are many times larger than mice and have hairless tails;mice have hairy tails. A common mouse is 3 ½ to 4 inches long with a 2 to 3 inch tail. Rats have, on average, a 7 to 10 inch body with a 5 to 8 inch tail.
