Description
These are donkeys on my brother Lee's ranch in central Florida.
Per Wikipedia: The donkey or ass (Equus africanus asinus) is a domesticated member of the horse family, Equidae. The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African wild ass, E. africanus. The donkey has been used as a working animal for at least 5000 years. There are more than 40 million donkeys in the world, mostly in underdeveloped countries, where they are used principally as draught or pack animals. Working donkeys are often associated with those living at or below subsistence levels. Small numbers of donkeys are kept for breeding or as pets in developed countries.
Asses were first domesticated around 3000 BC, probably in Egypt or Mesopotamia, and have spread around the world. They continue to fill important roles in many places today. While domesticated species are increasing in numbers, the African wild ass is an endangered species. As beasts of burden and companions, asses and donkeys have worked together with humans for millennia.

Wonderful capture of all these cute donkeys. Nice capture of the rural areas of Florida. I was raised in Orlando and wonderful memories of all the rural land that use to be there. I use to ride my bike on what is now International drive and my aunt owned the land at the entrance to Universal Studios. L/F

Great way to grow up. My brother loves it there. We grew up in Brazil (seven siblings) but we're spread all over the place now.
