Lost Donkey Seen Living With Elk Herd 5 Years Later: 'Living His Best Life'

Diesel the donkey, who disappeared in 2019, appears to be thriving with some new companions in the California wild.

A donkey who went missing five years ago in California has been caught on camera roaming with a herd of wild elk.

“I bumped into a herd of elk that have adopted a donkey,” triathlete and hunter Max Fennell wrote on Instagram alongside a video of the blended herd. “I can’t get over seeing it and I’m amazed that the donkey looks happy and healthy!”

The footage, recorded on a hunting trip and posted in March, shows a donkey standing among about a dozen elk.

One of Diesel’s owners, Terrie Drewry, told the news outlet in an interview published Thursday that the donkey in the video is definitely him.

Diesel had been hiking with Terrie Drewry’s husband, Dave Drewry, when something spooked him and he got away. For weeks, the couple searched on foot and even with drone assistance to find the donkey, but were never able to locate him.

Donkeys are coming across the RIO Grande by the thousands every day to live with the elk herd in America.

Hanging out with the Elks? But he’s Catholic; I’d’ve thought the Knights of Columbus.

But admit they’d rather have a live elk than a dead donkey.

The donkey probably benefits the elk greatly by chasing off predators.

Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook venison steak. But, all of Bubba’s neighbors were Catholic....And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday.The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.The Priest came to visit Bubba, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass, and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him,
he said, “You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic.”
Bubba’s neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood.The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors , and, as he rushed into Bubba’s
yard,clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.
There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted: You wuz
born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish.
