Did you know any of these Donkey Facts?

#worldfarmanimalsday #donkeys
Donkey Facts. Unique Voices. Donkeys communicate using a wide range of vocalisations. From expression emotions to warning of danger, each call has a message. Donkey Facts. Expressive Faces. Donkeys communicate with their expressions too. Ear position, eye movement and muscle tension reveal how they're feeling. Donkey Facts. In Need of Care. Sadly, many donkeys around the world face abuse, neglect and overwork. Raising awareness is an important step toward protecting them.

Please always think before sharing. You might be unintentionally harming wildlife.

These slides are part of, and inspired by, the #ShareSavvy campaign created by the team at Battersea Park Children's Zoo, sharesavvy.org

Photo: Close-up of a pygmy slow loris in a zoo habitat. Species listed as Endangered by the IUCN. Text: Did you know...? Slow lorises have their teeth cut out with nail clippers or pliers, without any anaesthetic, to make them easier to handle and to prvent their venomous bite. This frequently causes severe infections and death. Photo: Close-up of an Asian small-clawed otter in a zoo habitat. Species listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. Text: Did you know...? It is thought that the leading cause of decline in the Asian small-clawed otter is poaching for the illegal wildlife trade, where the animals are captured to be sold as exotic pets. Photo: A golden lion tamarin in a zoo habitat. Species listed as Endangered by the IUCN. Text: Did you know...? Tamarins suffer greatly in captivity as pets, since their complex social, environmental and dietary needs cannot be met, often resulting in physical illness, lifelong psychological issues and serious behavioural problems.
