Like people, they too have their own personality. The common thought that burros are stubborn is a myth. Actually, they are just very cautious. When placed into an unfamiliar situation, a burro will stand its ground and ponder its predicament. Pulling or pushing on the animal does little to help them make up their minds.
Burros come in many different colors including red, red roan, pink, blue, black, brown, and paint.
By far, the most common color is grey with a white muzzle and white underbelly. Burros recently removed from public rangelands are not used to people. As an adopter, your challenge will be to develop a trusting relationship with your wild burro. To adopt a wild horse or burro, you are required to have adequate facilities and the financial means to care for the animal. Fences should be of pole, pipe, or plank construction and must not have dangerous protrusions.
