wild ass
Kiang, for example
A wild ass is any of several undomesticated equines native to Asia and Africa, including the onager and the African wild ass.
These animals are smaller than horses, with longer ears and a reputation for being untamable.
The phrase appears in biblical and literary contexts to suggest someone fiercely independent or ungovernable: His hand will be against every man... a wild ass of a man.
