It's a Donkey Thing You Wouldn't Understand
Donkeys are not small horses and behave nothing like them — they are cautious rather than stubborn, as any owner will explain at length.
One design for this subject, on a Unisex Standard T-Shirt. If more appear in the same line they will show up here.
Donkeys are not small horses and behave nothing like them — they are cautious rather than stubborn, as any owner will explain at length.
Animal designs split between the accurate and the cartoon. The single design here sets its own register — look at the drawing before deciding.
Keepers of unusual animals tend to want anatomical accuracy; someone who simply likes the animal usually prefers the cartoon version.
This suits the person whose interest in donkey has gone past casual — the one who corrects documentaries. For a general animal lover, a broader design is a safer gift.
Donkeys stop when they judge something unsafe, which is a survival trait rather than defiance. Anyone who keeps them says this within the first minute.
They bond intensely with a companion and grieve when separated, which is why they are rarely kept alone.
They are also used as livestock guardians, which surprises people who only picture beach rides.
The wording only works when it names the exact animal, so it is worth checking before you buy. Ferret, Frog and Gerbil each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
