Baby animals have the power to melt all hearts, even those made of steel. But while everyone enjoys seeing a palm-sized fox, deer, or a cute farm animal, people rarely take the time to adore baby donkeys.
These fuzzy creatures are usually the subjects of butt jokes, and it’s quite a shame. To get them the attention their cute and cuddly looks truly deserve, Bored Panda has collected a heartwarming list of fuzzy and funny donkeys.
Donkeys aren't like horses at all; they differ physically, mentally, and emotionally. They are more stoical in their behavior and startle less than horses. They are very social animals that simply cannot live alone, and if left without the company of other donkeys, they can fall into depression.
Because of that, donkeys develop powerful emotional attachments with other animals. You might’ve heard the saying 'Stubborn as a donkey,' but stopping and digging in their heels is actually a sign of the donkey’s intelligence, as they never run before making sure if there’s real danger ahead.
Oh, and if you thought that there’s only one kind of these cute animals, you'd be amazed to find that there are more than 100 donkey breeds, ranging from miniature donkeys to mammoth ones.
Scroll down to meet these big-hearted cute animals and upvote your favorites!

HOW TO RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD S****Y ATTITUDE 1. In horrible mood, feeling hopeless, hating everything... 2. Looks at pic of baby donkey meeting horse for first time... 3. Bad mood vanishes. 4. Texts daughter at school just to say, "Have I told you today how much I love you?" 5. Cosmic balance restored.

The tale of the rooster and the donkey. There once was a baby donkey who lived on my farm. The first thing he heard after he was born was a rooster, crowing to greet the morning. As soon as the donkey learn to Bray, he joined that rooster when he greeted the Sun -Every morning. -- I sold the farm cheap to the first buyer that came along and moved to the city. My ears just couldn't take it anymore.
