burro

Sturdy pack animal

A burro is a small donkey, especially one used as a pack animal in the southwestern United States and Mexico.

The word is Spanish for donkey.

Wild burros descended from escaped or released animals roam parts of the American West: We saw burros along the trail in the Grand Canyon.
