The Cyprus donkey is the donkey breed of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. These became semi-wild following the Turkish invasion in 1974.


The Cyprus donkey is the donkey breed of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. There are two principal strains: a large dark-coloured type with a pale belly and a small grey African type which represents about 20% of the total population. These donkeys although they looked cute, they were not very friendly and did not like to be touched.
