Omg this is ADORABLE...
Donkey nannies in Italy...
Aww this has to be one of the cutest things I have seen today…
Each year in Lombardy, Italy, grazing animals are moved from high pastures down to the plains for late-summer grazzing.
Newborn lambs are unable to make this journey on their own.
Instead, they ride in the pouches of a specially made saddle on the back of a donkey or a mule nanny.
They are taken down at rest stops and returned to their mothers for a bite to eat and a bit of nuzzling.
This century-old practice is known as Transhumance is derived from the Latin words “trans” (beyond) and “humus” (Earth).
It was recognized by UNESCO in 2019 as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Although this tradition has become rare, it remains integral to Italy’s agricultural heritage.
So sweet:
I love donkeys… I love lambs… I love animals… I love healthy traditions…
