Abstract
The masseter muscle attracted the attention of many investigators as it is considered the most important muscle of mastication. The lamination of the masseter muscle has been described by Toldot (1905) in the human and domestic animals, Yoshikawa et al. (1961, 1962) in mammals and ruminants respectively, Yoshikawa and Suzuki (1965) in mammals and Sasaki et al. (2001) in the giraffe.



Little is known about the structure of the masseter muscle and its arterial supply in the donkey, so the present study is carried out to investigate the structure of the masseter muscle and its attachments to the skull as well as the relationships with its arterial blood supply,
