Firstborn Donkeys

Why are donkeys the only unkosher animals that have a firstborn Mitzva status ? Why not horses & camels also ?

The Talmud explains because the Jews needed to haul tons of gold & silver as they left Egypt & there were no U - hauls so they used rent a Donkey !

Don't forget to thank even donkeys.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
