Two donkeys stranded on an island in Northern California are now safe thanks to the efforts of some wildlife experts.
MARIPOSA COUNTY, Calif. –
Whether he had a frog in his pocket or brought a blue-bellied lizard to the dinner table, Daniel Burton always had a love for the less appreciated wildlife.Urban Trapping Wildlife Control“Most animals we work with have some sort of taboo or bad reputation,” he said. “They get kind of a bad name because of it.”Most recently, Burton and several agencies in Northern California rescued Jack and Jennette from an island in Lake McClure.
“They were trying to get away from predators,” Burton said. “There’s a lot of mountain lions around Lake McClure.” When water levels rose again, only the healthy donkeys could swim back. The herd waded across the water, leaving behind two of their injured own. “They’ll go up into the foothills for food and every couple of days they come back to down to the bank,” Burton said. “Their herd never really left as long as they could hear them and see them.”“Knowing the donkeys aren’t sitting on that island there, not borderline starving, they’re not going to drown … it was such a relief,” Burton said.In 2019, a wild donkey was rescued from the island after being stuck there for more than two years.
