Wild Burro (Equus asinas) |
|
|
|
The wild burro, believed to have originated in Africa, was domesticated and introduced into the desert southwest by Spanish colonizers around 1600 A.D. |
 |
|
|
|
These capable, opportunistic foragers did not likely exist in the wild until the nineteenth century. They often cover a large territory, but rarely stray further than ~10 miles from water. |
|
|
 |
|
|
Female burros (jennies) have a ~12 month gestation period, and may produce offspring for 30 years or more. These three burros were as intrigued by us as we were of them! |
|
|
What should you do if you encounter a territorial burro, or pack of burros as the case may be? |

|
Call in the Royal British Navy of course! |
