Kind of an ordinary looking guy .... with a complex and interesting story.
There are maybe as few as 700 of them left in the wild ... Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia.
As of 2011 there were also about 100 of them in captivity .... and breeding programs around the world.
As tough as their today is .... they have quite a noble past.
Domestic donkeys found in Italy are typically descended from the Somali wild ass.
As opposed to those from other European countries .... which are usually descended from the Nubian wild ass.
