Herd of elk adopt a donkey who went missing over five years ago in Auburn, California.
The donkey's name is Diesel and he ran away from his owner in 2019 after getting 'spooked' while trail packing.
While on a hunting trip, pro triathlete Max Fennell noticed a donkey in the middle of a herd of elk.
"Probably one of my wildest hunting trips to date. I bumped into a herd of elk that have adopted a donkey. I can't get over seeing it and I'm amazed that the donkey looks happy and healthy," he posted on Instagram.
The donkey's owner, David Drewry, responded to Fennell's post.
"That is in fact Diesel. He got away from me while packing out there 5 years ago. It was heartbreaking at the time. Glad to see he is helping the herd grow."

The donkey will protect them from coyotes.

Bad move by the elks. They’ll regret being “inclusive” of a Democrat.

Ok, I had to look it up.
Mensa level humor.
Still, well done.

Too bad there isn’t further information on how they found him and got the packs off of him.

Donkey's are used all over the world to protect sheep and other livestock from predators like coyotes and wolves.
They will stomp the crap out of anyone that comes into their pasture.
Maybe better than having a Great Pyrenees, Maremmano or other highly protective sheep dogs.

Humans should take a lesson from the elk herd. No racism or species-ism there. ;0
Like a ‘famous’ Californian said, ‘can’t we all get along?”.
