In our country we have a saying "a donkey is a wonderful thing". Donkey's do incredible work all around the world. They deserve our appreciation, respect & love. And I've been around horses - not always graceful 😄

[@jannetteberends8730]

They are used as guard animals to protect a herd against predators. Saw videos with them doing that.

[@CitiesForTheFuture2030]

@@jannetteberends8730 I know donkeys are pack animals, carrying & pulling almost everything. Didn't know about the "guarding" thing - tx for the info. In many countries they use dogs. As part of cheetah & leopard conservation they breed the Anatolian Shepherd to protect herds from kitty predators. Geese are also good guard animals too apparently.

The best thing that ever came from a donkey is a mule.

So what you’re saying is the Dreamworks people did their research when they decided to give Shrek a donkey as a friend

[@money-chaser]

"Theyre actually quite smart" then just the thump of a donkeys back hitting the floor

[@tameniai]

I jumped too when that turtle snapped. Poor horse just wanted to check out his new pasture-friend.

[@Imbatmn57]

I was worried the dog was going to get trampled.

If you ever have to walk behind a horse, try to avoid it if you can. But if you can't, make sure to walk very closely behind them. This way, they won't have enough space to wind up a kick. The end of the horse's leg, where they kick out from, is where all the power is. So, if you're close to it, there won't be enough momentum to gain that 320km/h speed. This can help you avoid sustaining severe injuries. Some telltale signs that a horse is annoyed include ears being back, head bucking, and tail swaying aggressively. However, horses have different personalities just like us, and they can display these signs differently. It's important to remember that horses are pack animals. So, if they feel that their pack is threatened, they will defend each other. To avoid scaring a horse, which can be really dangerous, try not to make sudden movements. This is demonstrated in the tortoise video. Also, avoid making loud noises or sneaking up on them. It's not a good idea to pet a horse from behind because it might get scared and kick. Instead, approach them calmly from the front or the side, and address your presence verbally. This way, they will know where you are, as they assess their environment through sound.

When I was a kid, I was kicked in the back by a horse. I think at 5 years old, I logged more solo flight time than many professional pilots.

[@KatieDeGo]

The donkey tumbling over the fence was adorable ❤

[@jannetteberends8730]

It was also amazing that he could stand up again without problem.

[@American-Jello]

This lady is funny. I like her hosting this.

[@ellafields9424]

That baby over the fence could have broken its pelvis. It hit so hard - hope it was uninjured.

[@LazyQahnaarin]

That snapper did a sick 180.😜🤙

[@loszhor]

1:22 Such grace.... u_u

[@CaraVerde]

"I'm back... I'm back..." BOOM! "My back... My back..."

[@ashdorj9490]

Did you say donkey’s are stoic enough 😂😂😂 why does it make so much sense

[@thenobleandmightybeaver4411]

My friend has a sheep farm and she uses donkeys as her livestock guardians to fend off coyotes and wolves. She says they are perfect because they take care of the sheep but they will not tangle with humans at all so she doesn't have to worry about them with her children and visitors. She used to use Great Pyrenees dogs but they weren't great with people and one of them bit her husband so she made the switch.

One time I was feeding a horse and the horse got my finger while trying to eat the grass, then got mad because I opened it's mouth with my hand and it didn't understand why haha but it just neighed at me disapprovingly and ran off

[@losrin5447]

When I was 10 or 11, I got bitten by a horse in London when I was taking a photo with a horse guard. He bit me on my upper arm so hard and it was bruised and painful for weeks lmao Scary to know if the horse wanted he/she could've broken my bones!

[@Alice-nn3oo]

Is the donkey ok?

[@pakde8002]

Its very likely the day will come when humans once again depend on horses, mules and donkeys for pretty much everything. And I love it when stupid people walk up to wild animals and get attacked despite given every opportunity to stand down. Even domesticated animals can react violently in stressful situations.

[@ross6753]

But donkeys are funny, fluffy and cute, and horses aren't any of that

[@zackmartin4595]

PLEASE DO THE GIANT GOLDEN CROWNED FLYING FOX from the Philippines

[@moniqueball3559]
