One more thing on the Wildlife Loop. Just before I exited the park, I came to an intersection with a bunch of cars stopped and parked. You know that means there is something fun or cool to see.

Yep. A herd of wild burros. I mean, like 50 or more of them. And believe me, they are not the least bit afraid of humans, In fact these particular ones make a partial living from humans. How, you say?

Well, they are not called the "Begging Burros" for nothing. Peeps get out of their cars to see them up close, and the burros aren't the least bit fazed by that. You can walk right up to them. In fact they will approach you, and stick their faces right in your hand, looking for something to eat. Their favorite food turns out to be carrots.

My question is, how do burros develop a taste for carrots in the wild, lol? Because tourists feed them, that's how. And if you don't have anything to feed them when they approach you, they will snort in your hand and walk away, seeking a better-prepared tourist with food, lol.
