Don’t leave us hanging.
How does donkeys in a herd keep coyotes away.
Do they start baying or screaming or whatever they do?
The donkeys kick AND bite coyotes. Every rancher I know that has a cow-calf operation keeps donkeys in the field.
Heh. Make noise? If the predator is lucky, the donkey will make noise.
If the predator is unlucky, the donkey just goes to work.
It is difficult to describe. Donkeys are smart as a whip... and when you piss them off (and they get royally pissed off at coyotes), donkeys become animals possessed of a level of mean that just won’t quit.
“Bite, stomp, kick into the next county” is a good start. I’ve seen donkeys that were put in with a bunch of alpacas as guards just go to town on a feral dog. When they were done, that feral dog was a steaming pile of mush.
