The donkeys of Cripple Creek, Colorado, are ancestors of the mining donkeys from the 1800s.

  • I met the herd back in 2000! They were in the hotel parking lot just before my family and I left. I fed them orange segments and Mentos and they backed me against a car.

  • @ShinyHappyGoth That's funny!

  • I remember when they chewed the chrome and my windshield wipers off my car!!!!!!

  • @MostAwesome100 LOL! I just noticed this comment. Guess I've had good luck with them then. LOL

  • Very cute video and good choice of song.

    Forgive me if I sound like a dope, but how do they keep the town clean? Do they ever have to take measures for downsizing the herds? Donkeys are a hearty animal who do not require much for breeding. Just a question. I am not pro BLM.

  • They keep the donkeys down to only 7 all year around. In summer they have run of the town and stay together; in winter they are corralled. There are mountains and hills all around town and they are not always on the streets, etc. So cleaning up after them does not seem to be a problem. They are descendants from the donkeys used in the mining days...

  • I grew up in Cripple Creek, and would catch and ride the donkeys for something to do.

  • haha this is fantastic, I have to go there someday lol

  • According to the sound-track listing on Amazon, it lists just Teddy Thompson as the artist of 'King Of The Road'.; Please double-check for me & see if I'm right on this, or, not.

  • they keep on coming around my apartment but its funny cuz they wont eat tomatos

  • I can't believe I have found another one here in the Springs with more subscribers!?!? Were have you been?

  • haha I fed them the other week, they didn't really like the food we gave em'..haha

  • @JeepsterGal I know! It was simultaneously adorable and intimidating.

    "I cannot feed you all at once, I have only two hands!"
