Donkeys in California freak out on seeing grass for the first time

A group of eight Arizona donkeys freaked out when they saw grass for the first time in their lives. They got the shock of their life when they were moved to a California ranch because, till then, they had been fed on hay. Montgomery Creek Ranch has posted a video of the moment the Black Mountain burros almost stood still in shock as they gazed at their new home.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 29 September 2016.

Montgomery Creek Ranch has explained that the video was filmed as the burros were first being introduced to the 'foreign' terrain. Since they had till then been fed only a diet of hay, the animals needed to be slowly introduced to the grass otherwise they would get sick very fast. They will graze in the small pasture so that they get used to it, and when they have adapted themselves to the new surroundings, they will be set loose.
Montgomery Creek Ranch is a wild horse sanctuary in Northern California and it gives refuge to horses and burros that have been removed from Western public lands.
