5 Interesting Facts About Donkeys!

  • Donkeys have an extraordinary memory - they can remember places and other donkeys they haven't seen for up to 25 years, which is better recall than most humans manage.
  • A donkey's bray can be heard up to 3km away - those enormous ears aren't just for show, they help donkeys communicate across vast distances in their natural desert habitat.
  • Despite their reputation for stubbornness, donkeys are actually very cautious - they simply refuse to do things they perceive as dangerous, which is sensible rather than obstinate.
  • Donkeys are hardier than horses and can survive on much poorer quality food - they originally evolved in desert environments and are experts at making the most of sparse resources.
  • There are more donkeys in the world than you might think - around 40 million domesticated donkeys worldwide, plus a significant wild population, making them one of the most numerous large animals on Earth.
