Donkey Identifies as an Elk - Everyone Says 'Awww!' Gordon K 7:30 PM on June 12, 2024
Hit Radio FFH/dpa via AP Left, right or center, everyone loves a cute nature story. Is it a metaphor? Does it contain messages about transgenderism or unity? Who cares? This is adorable on its own merits.

This is a heartwarming story about a donkey who got lost last year and found his home among the wild elk community. Since this is X (Twitter) the reactions are gold.
“They like me. They really like me!”

"Dances with Elk."
Powerful lesson for us
Find your tribe even if it means getting out of what other people think is your lane 🔥

Then there's important life lessons.
I guarantee there is no safer Elk herd in Wyoming. Donkey's are fierce protectors.

We did not know this. You see, you can learn things on X (Twitter).

We sense a theme ...
Mating season must be a little awkward.

This is a valid choice that ought to be respected.

We don't judge.
Identifies as an Elk now. What’s this world coming to. :)

Not sure if this is a libertarian or anarchist message. Either way, donkey approves!

The Donkey knows he is a Donkey, and he thinks the Elk heard is his heard and he will protect them from predators. Even a pack of wolves don’t stand a chance against a donkey.
So, that’s where my neighbor’s donkey disappeared to. 🤣
Donkeys are natural protectors in herd situations. People have used them for centuries.
The elk got a protector.
ROTFL!
There’s a cat in there.
Amazing.
He’s a Delk. With possible young delks on the horizon.
My interpretation:
Donkey identifies as an elk - the left says, "SEE???!!! IT HAPPENS IN NATURE, TOO!"
Does this mean that eminem identifies as black? Asking for a friend...
Winter of 22/23 was a record breaker here with more than 900” of snow at Alta Collins snow stake.
Lot’s of elk stayed out of the high country and kept to the lower elevations - about 6500’ where I live.
Elk herds were mingling with the horses in pasture and eating their hay. Ranchers were buying 3-4 times the amounts of hay to feed them too!
Everybody seemed to get along just fine.
I notice they are not horny….
OK me 😞 .
I mean none have horns. Is that a herd of female elk ? And then is that Donkey also a female—serious question this last part.
Elk drop their antlers after the rut once a year and go without until summer, when they begin reviewing them.
