Happy from Sq**rt the donkey! ☺
Sq**rt is not your typical donkey, and he loves being unique! He might be the only donkey at the Farmyard, but it’s never bothered him. In fact, he enjoys being the center of attention! Animal keepers even jokingly refer to him as the “fifth cow,” since he lives with four cow friends. Sq**rt gets along with all of his companions, but his best friend is Stella, the red Dexter Mini cow. They grew up together and were donated to the Farmyard as a pair by former Chicago Bears player Brian Urlacher. 🏈
Aside from his unusual roommates, Sq**rt also has some unusual ears for a donkey! As a baby, the tips of Sq**rt’s ears got frostbite, causing a minor loss of tissue and leaving him with adorably small ears. And don’t worry, his ears work just fine! Sq**rt can hear animal keepers opening a bale of hay from a mile away, and he’s sure to let them know he’s ready for dinner with lots of very loud and very frequent calls. 👂
Sq**rt is still hanging out with all his cow buddies and spending plenty of time with his best friend Stella while the Farmyard continues renovations, but he’s looking forward to seeing all the updates in spring! 💚
