The
donkeys that inhabit wide areas of the Atacama aren‘t really wild
donkeys. Most of them are descendants from the livestock, formerly kept
for farming and in the mining industry. At the end of the 20th century
their tasks were taken over by machinery and the donkeys were simply
set free. These donkeys did reproduce and today they live in large
numbers nearly all over the Atacama. |
