That donkey sounds like she's getting raped. LMFAO. Fortunately, she's just happy. lol
The first time I heard a donkey bray, I was 11 yrs old.
It did pretty much that -- it brayed continuously for well over a minute.
I laughed so hard my sides hurt for hours afterward
Tough to watch this without getting chills up and down my spine
I've never seen a wolf in the wild, but I've heard them a fair bit
I'd love to get a wolf pup, but I'm scared otherwise, I am for letting wild animals stay in the wild and not to be domesticated. But they still cute!

A zoo near us works with wild animals that have been either abandoned by their mothers, or orphaned.
Even though brought up in the care of humans, they could never be pets, and yet could never be returned to the wild.
Even if not a wolf, and even though they're truly domesticated, large dogs require a lot of time and effort.
Space is really important too -- dogs have to get out frequently.
In Canada we have a term "Cabin Fever" for the mental condition that happens when we are shut up inside for long periods -- which is especially common here in winter.
It is far worse for dogs.

I agree, I coudn't see myself owning a big breed of dogs as I'm not sure if I can give my 100% on taking care of them. I always want to make sure that if I care with someone or some pets, that I'll be able to give me 100% on taking good care of them.
I notice that in most of the clips I've found and posted, that the animals are kept outdoors in enclosures with loads of space.
In the case of the lions on the game preserve, there isn't even an enclosure.
When our kids were young, we had a cocker-spaniel sized dog that looked exactly like a black labrador.
It was extremely energetic and would chase a stick for hours and hours -- luckily we had a huge back yard in those days.

Did you notice the eyes?
At about 3:55 and onwards -- it is interesting
No videos (or co-videos) but we hung a couple of bird feeders on our deck.
One is to attract larger birds, the other is for the much smaller varieties.
The feeders weren't noticed for the first few days, but today the smaller birds were all over their feeder.
We had a woodpecker-like bird on the other one, but no clue what it was.
I'm going to try to set up my tablet in the window to take a picture every few seconds throughout the day.
Not exactly pets, and not really a bird either, but this little fella visited our bird feeder this morning.
Spoiler



Oh yeah -- it pretty much ate all the food in the feeder.
I'm going to have to fix it so only the birds can get to it.
I'll figure out how to get some food for just this one...
An actual bird -- no idea what species though...
Edit: it appears to be a Northern Flicker
