Summary[edit]

Description

Burro is a term that is used in the Americas to describe a small donkey. The largest burro populations in the hemisphere are found primarily in Latin America. In Mexico, the donkey population, estimated at three million, is among the largest of any nation in the world.

The first donkeys to reach what is now the United States may have crossed the Rio Grande with Juan de Oñate in April 1598. From that time on they spread northward, finding use in missions and mines. Donkeys were documented as present in what today is Arizona in 1679. By the Gold Rush years of the 19th century, the burro was the beast of burden of choice of early prospectors in the western United States. With the end of the placer mining boom, many of them escaped or were abandoned, and a feral population established itself.
