Animal Lovers

In underdeveloped countries, there are about 40 million donkeys that are used as working animals, as either pack or draft animals. A small number of donkeys live in developed countries as pets or are used for breeding. Male donkeys, called Jacks, are often used to mate with female horses to make mules. A female donkey, called a Jenny, will give birth to a single foal after a 12 month gestation period. According to Wikipedia, 1.7 percent of pregnancies will result in a set of twins; typically only one foal survives (14% of the time both will live). In Ireland, in 2013, Cormac Williams’ 8-year-old jenny, Tulip, gave birth to twins – and they both survived! Snow and Flake, both females, are both very healthy and thriving! Take a look at this video! The odds were against both twins surviving – but they beat the odds! I bet you enjoyed watching the video of the foals in action – they are quite adorable! Share away, people.

Animals are cute. That’s a fact. Baby animals are even cuter. That’s also a fact. Well, it’s time for you to meet an adorable baby donkey who’s found himself a very special human friend. This donkey was born on a small farm in Texas, and he was named Pixie Farms Gunner shortly after he was born. He was alive and wandering around the world for only eight hours before he made an intense connection to a human who lives on the farm with him. Don’t believe me? Think that you know a couple that’s even cuter than this? Well, why don’y you check out this video first, and then get back to me. I’m willing to bet that seeing these two together is going to change your mind! Take a look at this video! These two have become best friends already, and together they make the cutest combination that this world has ever seen. Share away, people!
