Burros
When we think of the
old west images of the mustang or burro comes to mind. Burros are most
often associated with mining in the old west a s pack animals.
Since they were no longer of value most were let go. Some escaped. Today
they roam they free ranges in small herds.
These self reliant creatures draw huge crowds whenever they appear.

They
do not seem to mind people. They shy away if you try to get too close.
Almost to a person, the visitors to Red
Rock are savvy enough with animals in the wild to not attempt to feed
them.
The Visitors to Red Rock tend to be particularly considerate and
respectful towards these animals. When humans and wild creatures know  and
respect each others boundaries it is possible to get closer and share in
mutual curiosity.
When wild animals know that you are going to respect their boundaries by
not advancing towards them, or you do not arouse their suspicions by with
quick sudden movements, they will
come close to you.
|
If you are patient they will get close enough to make
eye contact. When you do that it is hard not to feel that the creature in
front of you is just as curious about you as you  are about it.
