What are wild burros like?
Every wild burro is different. Like people, they each have their own personalities. The common thought that burros are stubborn is a myth. Actually, they are just very cautious. When placed into an unfamiliar situation, a burros will stand its ground and ponder its predicament. Pulling or pushing on the animal does little to help them make up their minds. You might be surprised to learn that burros come in many different colors including, red, red roan, pink and blue. By far, the most common color is grey with a white muzzle and white underbelly. Wild burros average 44 inches tall and weight about 500 pounds at maturity. Burros recently removed from public rangelands are not used to people. As an adopter, your challenge is to develop a trusting relationship with your wild burro.
