Living in the countryside has tons of pros. For example, you get to see your neighbor’s donkeys every time you get out to take in some fresh air after a long day of work. If that sounds a little too specific, I’ll just tell you that I know firsthand how donkeys are some of the most adorable animals around. I mean, have you ever seen a baby donkey? They’re often overshadowed by their equine counterparts or your usual cats and dogs, but they have a unique charm that can’t be beaten. The long ears, big eyes, and lipped mouths that hide big-ass teeth are the main reasons why they look so funny. But don’t let their appearance deceive you; donkeys are very kind-hearted and sensitive animals who make great pets. Just add that they’re hard-working animals that have supported humanity for farming, transport, and as pack animals for centuries, and you just got the perfect companion. The next time you find yourself in need of a smile, get back here and take a look at some of our favorite cute donkey pictures!

I dunno. Looks too small and wrong coloring. You can't see if this critter has the dorsal line common among donkeys, but mules generally do not have that dark line down their backs like this cutie does. Could possibly be a hinny.

Who Resembles Carlos Today?
Marion Friedl 3 years ago
Donkeys´re often seen as "stubborn" because they may stop immediately, but they´re simply careful, if the underground changes, for example from grass to gravel, they stop to check out the situation first before they walk on. 😮😮😮💖💖💖 I love the whole post and gave all 40 photos my upvote. Thanks for publishing it.

These 2 are inseparable and they’ll call each other whatever time of day and night if they need to know where the other is. Not sure we all need to know they can’t find each other in the early hours of the morning.

For those who are curious: Main Differences between Donkey and Burro: Donkey is a domesticated animal while burro is a wild animal. Donkey is comparatively larger while burro is smaller in body size. Donkey is found all over the world with the majority found in third-world countries while burro is found in the United States and Mexico. You can even adopt a wild burro just like you can adopt a wild horse.
