Donkey

Donkey is usually represented in popular culture as the dumb, load-bearing animal and though this is true to a large extent, these days even donkeys are being assigned with innovative tasks. It has been used since times immemorial as a draught animal or a load animal. It can carry immense amounts of load with little or no complaints for extended periods of time. They are now being trained as Guard Donkeys by harnessing their instinctive herd-defending mentality. They can effectively guard livestock and protect property with their attack-first, confront-later attitude towards humans and animals alike, keeping at bay both human and animal predators at the same time. Donkeys are also used as harness animals at some places where they are made to pull carts.
