Donkey declines to jump fence, uses problem-solving skills instead

RONCO SCRIVIA, Italy, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- A donkey at an Italian sanctuary showed off his superior problem-solving skills when two of his comrades jumped a fence and he apparently didn't feel like hopping.

The video, shared on Facebook by Italian donkey protection nonprofit Paradise, shows two donkeys named Pedro and Domenico jumping over a fence at the charity's facility in Ronco Scrivia.

A third donkey, Oreste, takes a moment to examine the fence before finding a simpler solution -- using his mouth to quickly dismantle the wooden fence.

"Pedro and Domenico jump, Oreste thinks about it a bit... and find another solution," the Facebook post said.
