Sometimes animals respond to inanimate objects in funny ways. Lots of times they just ignore them–pigeons don’t seem to care whose statue they rest on.
Here we have a horse with her fan club (two donkeys) steering clear of a small snowman. The horse is very dubious about the snowman, and the donkeys follow her lead. The horse would rather go out of her way through deep snow than come too close to the snowman. Maybe it’s a holdover from the Ice Age.
But if your nose is a carrot, sooner or later a donkey will eat it.
Those are fascinating markings on the horse!
That was truly fun to watch. I admire their cautiousness, in the face of something unknown, and their eventual courage in coming to grips with this new presence in their world.
A cat would have ignored it… or pretended to.
Or snuck past and attacked from behind. 🙂
Seeing a donkey earing the carrot nose of a snowman, now there’s a good video.
Entertainment at its finest. 🙂
