A Mule at Rest in Morocco Birthday Card

Mule resting in Morocco, Africa The card shows a mule at rest in a village in South West Morocco. The saddle bags are empty but a fully laden mule can carry over 200lbs ( 90 kg); that's about 20% of its body weight. In addition to possessing stamina and endurance, mules inherit the the determination of the male donkey and the intelligence of the female horse from which mules are bred. The mule is used to transport goods wherever the terrain and conditions are too rough and harsh, or the cost of tractors prohibitive. In Africa the mule will be found at work in extremes of temperature, from the snow in the High Atlas mountains to the heat of the Sahara, and in heavily populated urban locations such as the Medina in Fez, the worlds largest car-free city. Fully customisable and easy to personalise this card will appeal to animal lovers and those who appreciate the importance of beasts of burden that serve us in the world.
