Lol . Ever fuck with a donkey !! They destory hyenas ! horse run away . A donkey will fight till the end ! Kick / wrestle / bite the shit outof the predator 😂😂😂😂
Apparently my dogs who are listening, and watching this video think there's something out there too! They along with the donkey are making warning noises. It's pretty amazing!
Well id imagine animals especially wild dogs speak in more then 1 traditional way Its possible they where speaking on a higher frequency, which most animals cant hear. But Donkeys are Flack AA cannons for canines XD so they can probably hear it, like your dogs can
Long time ago I suffered loss of livestock due to some wolfs.A neighbour suggested donkeys as lifeguards for the cattle and the sheep...First I laughed but these 3 donkeys did a fantastic job.From a far I watched them defend a cow with her two calfs....I saw wolfs getting kicked like you would not believe....
Donkeys are also masters of dance and the lessons are usually "free" But you have to provide a random canine, and then whiteness the Donkey begin to salsa dance on its ragdoll. Might scar you mentally, but it was free XD
Well when you are potentially on the menu (even if we're just talking large predator's) you must have a very keen sense of hearing, smell, sight, or a powerful combination of them! Willie's ancestors evolved over millions of years on the savannah's and deserts to have the best shot of survival in the wild, by battling daily with everything from large cats, to dehydration
I couldn't believe the sounds he was making. At first I thought it was someone racing a big engine nearby. Then I saw Willy's stomach contract along with the sounds and said "my God those sounds are coming out of him". Never knew a donkey could make such a sound.
Annika Heydl, just imagine. A smaller-ish or medium sized predator confronted by an enraged donkey. Those vocalistic, ear blasting calls of alarm, mixed with pounding hoofs, or alert attention. You had better not even try to mess with my herd.
No really tho Donkeys are bad asses They arent the strongest, but they have the strength of a hourse and the mind set of a honey badger They dance on the bodies of slain canine's XD Savage Im a canine lover and still have respect for this getto horse with attitude XD
My mammoth does the same and it usually means a coyote is getting close and of course she would take care if it. She will also go after dogs that are not ours, neighbor dogs learned by experience. Last night she must have been particularly irritable (she's in heat) cuz just as soon as the coyotes started yapping she ran to the fence loudly braying and snorting. They shut up and left pronto.
Safe to say a Mammoth, as big as they are, coupled with the donkey's intelligence, can make short work in killing a coyote or even a wolf, yes? I actually admire the fact that unlike most wildly flailing horse kicks, a donkey knows HOW to line up their rear kicks, as a weapon, so a good kick by any Mammoth donkey that hits any canine is potentially very lethal for that predator...and I bet those predators learn REAL quick to stay away.
@@mikes3827 horses are dead on accurate when they want to be. I see them kick alot of Animals and people right in the head, one swift kick that you don't even see coming lol.
Love the fresh snow on the trees. Thanks for taking such good care of your livestock. it really is rewarding when they love up on ya I think. Nothing beats that, all of your work comes to fruition.
Those ears, that taste-scent sensitivity, those snorts, if that was a mountain cat(i'm guessing it was) then it won't come much closer, if the other two were free of their enclosure then I doubt even a bear would stand a chance. Donkeys when well cared for and strong are powerfully fierce and will not hesitate to protect their home. I know a farmer who keeps fowl and pigs, he sells the eggs and meat and that's his living, he laughed at getting donkeys thinking they were labour animals not good at anything but hauling goods in poor countries, after 6 months of owning 2 donkeys he saw no kills, no stressed birds, no property marking, his animals are protected by kind gentle and protective beasts where one kick will crush even a large cat skull. I doubt a lion can withstand a direct hit by a strong donkey... well a couple of kicks any way. He used to have geese who took care of foxes and other small egg eaters and nuisances, they were very territorial but still prey to the cats, now he has the donkeys and has never looked back.
That is really amazing. I wonder what was out there. I have two guard CATS. They hear things way before I do. They know when someone is headed for my front door and alert me. Their ears go straight up and just like your donkey they don't move until the person or dog/cat is gone. It is very nice to have guard cats.
Excellent display of warning and challenging! you would be protected, if he stomped his feet he would be ready to charge whatever it is and you can be sure it was something! Good donk!!!!
Yeppers. After all that I definitely would've took the dog, my 44 magnum AND a good 'whompin' stick and went to look for tracks. Not knowing what it was COULD be a terrible mistake when our precious animals are concerned... :(
I was around live stock for about14 years of my younger life. My grandparents had cattle and several fruit trees and a large garden and when we finally moved into our own house in 6th grade, we had two horses, 3 dogs a cat and 84 chickens. My job...in addition to the rest was to feed and break ice, water, muck, gather eggs, pick up dog poo, shovel the drive, split fire wood, sell eggs and for some extra cash i would buck hay, pick rocks, move sprinkler lines, pick cherries and apples. Then I turned 14 and got 25 hour a week job so I got to knock of 3 of those things. Oh and went to highschool. I think i was the only one in USMC boot that never cried. I looked at my buddie and said...." well shit...my step brothers arn't throwing out of a car at 20 mph or shooting at my feet when we're done plinken'. This is easy. "
A friend of mine has her two donkeys out with the cattle and when the cows are having their calves, they chase the coyotes away. They have killed a couple of coyotes that got too bold.
And dance on their bodies no doubt XD I love canines, but still respect those getto horses with attitude XD Horse + Honey Badger = Donkey XD And the math check out better then half the scientific community XDDD
The feral donkeys we saw on the Hualapai Indian reservation at the bottom of the Grand Canyon were very cool looking but you would not want to get out of your car near them. They looked extremely strong and compact.
I remember growing up once, we had a newer horse who for whatever reason snuck up and nipped my little sister. The donkey came and head butted the horse in the side so hard it almost fell over and stumbled. That never happened again to any of us.
Hopefully these animals have a walled enclosure to stay in when they want to. Imagine having to stay outdoors and constantly in the shade during that weather.
I think they stay willingly there But they have a barn if a storm comes to hurd them to safely That Donkey isent going away from his friends and food, hes gonna fuck up what ever thinks twice tho
When he went on alert... The clicking sounds made me think it was the actual Predator. But then I remember those only show up during the hottest years, and then the crow gave a full "caw"
I had a draft mule! He was huge. I got him from some Amish. They said he wouldn't work. He worked for me. We lived way out in the country in a mountainous area. Every winter idiot's would go off the road. We hitched up Tesla and pulled them out. I used to go on long remembrance rides with him too. I miss him!
@chanctonbury63 with barnyard animals, it's not good for them if there's no air flow, they can catch pneumonia that way. I think a good solution for the cold would be to stack up straw bales to protect from wind gusts
Awesome Willie...good job.. the echoes and reverberations coming back off that roof must really put some genuine fear into predators looking for a meal. Do they protect against 2-legged intruders as well?
Cuz anyone with something to defend Is the real predator Wile anyone weak enough to try to snatch it, is actually prey Look at human history, the bloodiest encounters happen defending the homeland or civil independency
Probably a fox, wolf or coyote Donkeys have like 6 extra senses when it cones to locating and destroying canines XD Not a sixth sense 6 extra senses Im a canine lover and just respect facts, Donkeys are bad asses XD
I thought this was going to be a video of a mammoth donkey willy. Not that I'm into that kind of thing, I was just curious about how it would go about warning of predators. Maybe slapping the ground like a beaver tail? My mind wanders too much...
If I was there and he was doing that, I stop what am doing and get ready for a fight.i know the donk got that shit on lock down but am not one to let the animal am taking care of fight alone, strength in numbers
MegaFloyd100 That's because the willy is from an actual mammoth that was in permafrost for 20,000 years and was more or less sewn on with monofiliment line. They don't sense anything at all, they just assist in the donkey spinning around, loudly knocking the crap out of everything in sight.
Horses and donkeys are good predator deterrents. My mothers Morgan stallion would chase off bears and wolves from the herd. Never had to shoot anything with him around.
Horses are good in a herd/pride But Donkeys will preform Solo or in group effort If its canine its dead, and anything smaller then a horse needs to bow out now XD
I was never lucky enough to have a donkey but my mule would sound the coyote alarm almost every night. They used the easement between me and my neighbors home as a coyote freeway. She frequently got me out of bed at all hours to investigate when a multiple snort event took place. Once a young coyote got into her paddock and I had to rescue it. The pup was frantically running back and forth across the paddock and would bounce off the outer chain link fence over and over. I had to herd it toward the open gate, no easy task with a terrified youngster. Twister was snorting the entire time.
Im 1000% sure they have a legit enclosure if a storm comes Blizzard or flood warnings But other then that, why? No cage, wheres the Donkey? Oh right, waiting for his food
No need to hunt, that won't stop the predator anyway. Willy is more than enough to protect the herd. You might look up "coyote hazing" if you wish to dispell them from an area. It actually works, they won't come back, and they'll warn others not to come around. Works with wolves as well. Killing is an absolute last resort, let's try to set positive examples for others
She says, "you tell 'em not to come over here". The donkey says, "nonsense, please come over here, I haven't beat or bit anything to death in forever".
I love the open sided massive shelter afforded to these precious animals. God bless. It's winter here in northern Utah and thinking of my boarded 19 yr young gelding Paint with minimal shelter. Boarding facility accommodates well. If I had my druthers, your facility arrangement is the kind!! Greetings from Utah!
NO Shelter from the wind ? ... I would NEED a few walls.. we have snow.. sometimes deep snow.. maybe a roof ? and door too ? I think that's called a Barn ?? Lol.
Yeah they did a lot of work to keep him running at top performance Bored the cylinders, added a duel intake, nitro pistons, new trim on the hoves The works XD
I think hollywood got the reload a shotgun for intimidation, From watching Donkeys and be like "what noise could a person make to sound intimidating before shooting" cuz you dont load a shell like that XD first one goes in the chamber usually
