A mule is the cross of a horse and a donkey... A male donkey and a female horse But lackadaisical use of the term is also applied to a female donkey crossed with male horseï¿½ WITHOUT Google, anyone know the name?

If you keep crossing the crosses, do you think you'd get back to the common ancestor?
