Description

America's wild burros aren't just leftover prospector donkeys. DNA traces them to a single domestication in East Africa 7,000 years ago, and they still act like their desert ancestors: switching diets by region and digging wells in dry streambeds that dozens of other species drink from. Pest, or a missing piece of the desert? Drop your county in the comments and subscribe for more. #WildBurros #Arizona #Donkeys #Desert #Wildlife
