The Sardinian donkey (Italian: Asino Sardo, Sardinian: Molente or Molenti) is a breed of donkey from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, to the west of Italy.[3] It is raised throughout the island; there are also some small populations in mainland Italy.[4] It is one of the eight autochthonous donkey breeds of limited distribution recognised by the Ministero delle Politiche Agricole Alimentari e Forestali, the Italian ministry of agriculture and forestry.[5] The conservation status of the Sardinian donkey was listed as "endangered" by the FAO in 2007.[1]
