Another cool donkey fact is that shepards use them instead of guard dogs. Since they are super teritorial they will chase and kick the living crap out of any predator that might come close.
Basically a horse-sized dog with the violence level of a Canada Goose
Makes me think of that video in which a donkey caught a coyote with its teeth and whipped it around until it went full ragdoll. Regarding security, they do not play around.
I went searching YouTube for the clip and the first result was this little gem 😄
I like how calm the donkey is while eating, it's ears still tracking the coyote.
Coyote: [to itself] "Should I go in there?]
Donkey: [with a mouthful of grass] "Whatever, it's your funeral, pal."
Coyote: "Hmm, better not."
