Miniature Donkey

Equus asinus f. asinus

Level-headed, not stubborn

Donkeys have a reputation for being stubborn. But what we see as stubbornness is actually a sign of intelligence: when faced with danger, donkeys stay put and assess the situation, while horses follow their instincts and bolt immediately.
