      Donkeys are also masters of dance and the lessons are usually "free"
      But you have to provide a random canine, and then whiteness the Donkey begin to salsa dance on its ragdoll. Might scar you mentally, but it was free XD

      Well when you are potentially on the menu (even if we're just talking large predator's) you must have a very keen sense of hearing, smell, sight, or a powerful combination of them! Willie's ancestors evolved over millions of years on the savannah's and deserts to have the best shot of survival in the wild, by battling daily with everything from large cats, to dehydration

    My mammoth does the same and it usually means a coyote is getting close and of course she would take care if it. She will also go after dogs that are not ours, neighbor dogs learned by experience. Last night she must have been particularly irritable (she's in heat) cuz just as soon as the coyotes started yapping she ran to the fence loudly braying and snorting. They shut up and left pronto.

    • @mikes3827
      @mikes3827 3 года назад +28

      Safe to say a Mammoth, as big as they are, coupled with the donkey's intelligence, can make short work in killing a coyote or even a wolf, yes? I actually admire the fact that unlike most wildly flailing horse kicks, a donkey knows HOW to line up their rear kicks, as a weapon, so a good kick by any Mammoth donkey that hits any canine is potentially very lethal for that predator...and I bet those predators learn REAL quick to stay away.

    That is really amazing. I wonder what was out there. I have two guard CATS. They hear things way before I do. They know when someone is headed for my front door and alert me. Their ears go straight up and just like your donkey they don't move until the person or dog/cat is gone. It is very nice to have guard cats.

  • @Naeidea
    @Naeidea 6 лет назад +347

    Those ears, that taste-scent sensitivity, those snorts, if that was a mountain cat(i'm guessing it was) then it won't come much closer, if the other two were free of their enclosure then I doubt even a bear would stand a chance. Donkeys when well cared for and strong are powerfully fierce and will not hesitate to protect their home.
    I know a farmer who keeps fowl and pigs, he sells the eggs and meat and that's his living, he laughed at getting donkeys thinking they were labour animals not good at anything but hauling goods in poor countries, after 6 months of owning 2 donkeys he saw no kills, no stressed birds, no property marking, his animals are protected by kind gentle and protective beasts where one kick will crush even a large cat skull. I doubt a lion can withstand a direct hit by a strong donkey... well a couple of kicks any way.
    He used to have geese who took care of foxes and other small egg eaters and nuisances, they were very territorial but still prey to the cats, now he has the donkeys and has never looked back.

    I was around live stock for about14 years of my younger life. My grandparents had cattle and several fruit trees and a large garden and when we finally moved into our own house in 6th grade, we had two horses, 3 dogs a cat and 84 chickens.
    My job...in addition to the rest was to feed and break ice, water, muck, gather eggs, pick up dog poo, shovel the drive, split fire wood, sell eggs and for some extra cash i would buck hay, pick rocks, move sprinkler lines, pick cherries and apples. Then I turned 14 and got 25 hour a week job so I got to knock of 3 of those things. Oh and went to highschool.
    I think i was the only one in USMC boot that never cried. I looked at my buddie and said...." well shit...my step brothers arn't throwing out of a car at 20 mph or shooting at my feet when we're done plinken'. This is easy. "

      @chanctonbury63 with barnyard animals, it's not good for them if there's no air flow, they can catch pneumonia that way. I think a good solution for the cold would be to stack up straw bales to protect from wind gusts

      Cuz anyone with something to defend Is the real predator
      Wile anyone weak enough to try to snatch it, is actually prey
      Look at human history, the bloodiest encounters happen defending the homeland or civil independency

    • @davegriffith32
      @davegriffith32 7 лет назад +3

      MegaFloyd100 That's because the willy is from an actual mammoth that was in permafrost for 20,000 years and was more or less sewn on with monofiliment line. They don't sense anything at all, they just assist in the donkey spinning around, loudly knocking the crap out of everything in sight.

    • @hamcheesecola
      @hamcheesecola 3 года назад +1

      No need to hunt, that won't stop the predator anyway. Willy is more than enough to protect the herd. You might look up "coyote hazing" if you wish to dispell them from an area. It actually works, they won't come back, and they'll warn others not to come around. Works with wolves as well. Killing is an absolute last resort, let's try to set positive examples for others

    I was never lucky enough to have a donkey but my mule would sound the coyote alarm almost every night. They used the easement between me and my neighbors home as a coyote freeway. She frequently got me out of bed at all hours to investigate when a multiple snort event took place. Once a young coyote got into her paddock and I had to rescue it. The pup was frantically running back and forth across the paddock and would bounce off the outer chain link fence over and over. I had to herd it toward the open gate, no easy task with a terrified youngster. Twister was snorting the entire time.

    Horses and donkeys are good predator deterrents. My mothers Morgan stallion would chase off bears and wolves from the herd. Never had to shoot anything with him around.

    Im all for these means of protecting livestock, compared to just genociding all the predators. If you really care about the stability of the ecosystem of your property or homestead, you'll want predators around. If I had property like this I'd love to know I had wolves and lions and such, keeping the deer population healthy. Donkeys seems like good natural guards
