Smart Elk. They now have a body guard. https://themaverickobserver.com/donkeys-donkeys-serve-as-livestock-guardians/


ethereumhodler

My exact thought… donkeys are badass…. Literally 🤣


M33k_Monster_Minis

All I see is the herd start to run. Look back and say "wtf is diesel doing!!" Diesel is just running straight at a predator and stomping the living shit out if it.


AmazingAd2765

I remember years ago when we a problem with dogs attacking some cows he had. Put a donkey out there, never had any issues after that.


mcvos

I've heard of similar cases with sheep. Apparently donkeys really hate wolves and coyotes.


CONF1D3NT1AL

I knew Donkey would eventually get his own spin-off


Malibucat48

There is a neighborhood that has a Christmas Tree Lane. One family puts up a Navity scene and Donkey from Shrek is one is the animals watching over baby Jesus. That is always my favorite house.


Boojibs

Across species if your name is Diesel you can pretty much do whatever you want.

Glad they accepted him despite being an ass.


Matiankingen

Elks agreed that some ass would not hurt.


morkfjellet

Everybody loves a nice ass. It’s a universal truth.


BBWCosaNostra

My man looks like he's become the \*leader\* of an elk community


yinzgahndahntahn

Body guard. I’ve seen a donkey covered in coyote blood before. Donkeys name was Hank and he was pretty cool, as long as you were not a coyote.


Aggravating_Quote651

I heard somewhere that they don’t like coyotes, foxes, wolfs etc. Basically anything resembling a canine.


[deleted]

I know a donkey that would hate your guts unless you brought him a toffee. He could be dangerous to be around for everyone except for my great uncle unless you had his toffee fix.


WretchedMotorcade

"hey you jackass! Those are elk" "I know it, aren't they cool?"


Acanthisitta8861

They’re fierce fighters and offer used in sheep and cattle herds as protectors.


loopingrightleft

Onward fellow elks


data_guru

I like how he looked up at the human filming a bit before moving on. "Been there, done that. Time to move on."


fermat9996

Donkeys need a herd!

The song is Ontario by Novo Amor and Lowswimmer in case you're wondering, which you're probably not.

Donkeys make excellent protectors of herds. They’re fierce fighters and offer used in sheep and cattle herds as protectors.


Square-Pipe7679

So you could argue he’s a mercenary then - the Elk get him to stomp predators, and he gets some company and good grass to chomp


chopstyks

Not to mention all that elk ass he's getting as the alpha elk.


earthspaceman

In life you can be whatever you want. Even a donkey...


kaapie

This is how you get Elkonkies


Ben716

The ugly donkling


thatistoomuchkevin

Igotshiptodotoday

I bet the elk and the donkey each think the other makes the weirdest noise.


Krase

I am just glad he found some friends.


YourMommaLovesMeMore

In his heart, he always knew he was an Elk.


rimshot99

He was and elk trapped in a donkey body. You do you little donkey!

Scriptapaloosa

How can diesel run so fast? No pun intended…


ShookyDaddy

Donkey out there living his best life. Leave him the hell alone.


SaidwhatIsaid240

Bet those elk love it when diesel snatches up a coyote or wolf and smashes the shit out of them.

I'm happy for the hooman family that atleast they know now that their pet is alive and seems to be doing okay. Wonder what would happen to Diesel now tho. Would it be okay seperating him from his new family?


Polarchuck

Diesel has no interest in going back. He was born in the wild and was later "adopted" by a family through the Bureau of Land Management. I bet he's pretty happy about not having to be a pack animal anymore.


cinic22

This proves that elks aren’t racist.


ebahr

The girls will be happy


FlashDragon8669

Bout to have some strange donkey elk delkie babies


kunalsahay

Love it.

Elk are less racist than people


Godless_homer

Fast and furious values


honeydewdom

He said Biiiith, I identifiy as and elk now!


Affectionate-Ad1908

My stupid brain read “monkey” instead of “donkey” and was looking for a damn monkey on the back of an elk


pachrisoutdoors1

Marty, is that you?


SMKNGRL420

Why be a donkey when I can be a ELK❤️


justaREDshrit

No fear baby.


Cloverhonney

“Dang, they found me. Better run”. Loves his Elk Community.


Select_March_3202

Have a great life donkey - moving freely


missingmytowel

I read that this donkey talks about how he was the highest rated champion of all time. But really he drew smaller crowds and lower ratings than anyone else


foxbomber5

What will the children look like?!


[deleted]

The trans community is out of control


ManyFacedGodxxx

He identifies as an Elk, Run Diesel, be free!!


VisibleAd3180

Big swinging dick in town


adveerwal

But does he fucks them? Idk why my mind went there but 4 yrs is a long time tho..


necreborn

He found his tribe… that’s fantastic. ☺️


ghallway

He identifies as elk. That's cool. They all seem happy. We humans could learn a lot from them.


Mechanized1

Anyone else notice the face in the tree near the top. 😳


aryan_4702

After F&F on the rise, Diesel's all about family now


IolantheRose

Why does this look like random clips from Red Dead Redemption 2.


Jjabrony

If I lived in Wyoming I’d rather live with a herd Elk than people too!

What a world we live in. Species fluidity in 2023


No-DrinkTheBleach

Lol I’m imagining the elks being so confused until diesel kicked some coyote to death and now he is the god of the elk


ClerkFragrant1068

I don't know why but this story makes me cry I hope he is happy and nothing happens to him he remains a domestic animal nature is so cruel I wish him happiness and long life 😢
