Did you know that UC Davis houses a famous donkey?! The son of Action Jackson, Action’s Protégé! He is the only donkey at the horse barn, and can be heard loudly braying all the way from campus. In addition to being noisy animals, donkeys are also historically sensitive to environmental change, a feature of great interest in our quickly changing global climate.
