My dad, who has since passed away, believed up until his 30s that a donkey was just a horse with long ears.
He also believed (because my uncle told him this) that there was a special breed of "hillside cows" with one set of legs (on either the left or right side) shorter than the other, so that they could stand straight on hills.
But if you put them on level ground, they could only go around at a tilt, and in circles.
