burros

Small pack animals

Burros are small donkeys, especially the wild or semi-wild donkeys of the American Southwest.

The word comes from Spanish and is used primarily in regions with Spanish influence.

Burros served as pack animals in mining operations and now roam freely in desert areas: Wild burros blocked the trail.
