Feral donkeys, known scientifically as Equus africanus asinus, are descendants of domesticated donkeys that originated from North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. They were first domesticated around 5000 years ago and have since spread to various parts of the world. As they escaped or were released, these domesticated donkeys became feral in locations such as the Americas, Australia, and various Mediterranean islands. Their adaptability has allowed them to thrive in diverse environments.

However, problems arose when the horses used in transportation began to become sickened by some of the native poisonous plant.
