Have you ever accidentally pulled off the perfect stretch, the kind that instantly changes your whole mood without even trying? It looks like this mini donkey named Moonshine from The Good Place Farm has mastered the art, and honestly, he should be teaching classes!
Farmer Mama B recently caught Moonshine in the middle of the best stretch ever, and people can’t get enough of it. Make sure your sound is on so you can hear his very vocal reaction; it’s so satisfying that even his tongue gets involved. It’s guaranteed to make your day!
Like us humans, donkeys and almost all other mammals stretch for a number of reasons. Sometimes it’s to stretch to wake up or to relax tired muscles. Other times, it could be for a medical reason, like colic, which can be very serious for donkeys.
We laughed when Mama B described the stretch in the caption, “The stretch and yawn heard round the farm. Moonshine put his whole soul into that stretch!” We wish we could get those kinds of stretches!

Fun Donkey Facts
World Animal Protectionexplains that not only are donkeys highly intelligent, but they can even detect danger. “Donkeys pause to evaluate danger. This thoughtful approach is often mistaken for stubbornness, but it’s actually a sign of intelligence.”
They have a strong memory, rivaling that of an elephant, and can remember other animals, places, and people they’ve encountered even years later.
Did you know that donkeys are known to protect other animals? “In many rural areas, donkeys act as livestock guardians, protecting sheep and goats from predators like foxes and wild dogs. Their alertness, strength, and protective instincts make them invaluable on farms, yet they are often overlooked in discussions around animal welfare.”
Who needs a livestock guardian dog when you have a donkey!
