A deficiency of what Thiamine, or vitamin B1, causes the illness beriberi.
Today's Question:
Give the specific names for the male and female ass.
I don't know this one. I'm tempted to answer that they are the Jill ass and Jack ass but I'm being silly. The only serious guess I have is mare and stallion, because like horses, they are equine--though it is hard to think of a donkey as a "stallion" with what the word connotes.
An interesting fact about these animals, donkeys or asses, is that they cannot have babies. They are the resulting offspring of a female horse and male mule. The male donkey is sterile because this "defect" results when two different species mate.
