[edit] Really?

Equus asinus, the African wild ass from which the domestic donkey comes, lives in desert and semi-desert environments in North Africa. That's a long way from the Yukon. I don't see how the same species could be found in both places. Is this article a joke? Steve Dufour 15:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Extinct animal living in Beringia, which was also a semi-desert [[steppe] environment, albeit colder. Many species have equally wide ranges. Luigizanasi 17:55, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. You learn something every day. I still wonder about the species name, E. asinus is African and the source says the Y.W.A. is related to the Asian asses. Steve Dufour 23:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
