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

“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.
