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<\/a>.<\/p>\n We laughed when Mama B<\/a> described the stretch in the caption, “The stretch and yawn<\/a> heard round the farm. Moonshine put his whole soul into that stretch!” We wish we could get those kinds of stretches<\/a>!<\/p>\n Related: Golden Retriever Casually Steals Her Human\u2019s Massage and Claims the Table as Her Own<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n Fun Donkey Facts<\/p>\n World Animal Protection<\/a>explains that not only are donkeys highly intelligent, but they can even detect danger. “Donkeys pause to evaluate danger.
