Dreadlocked-donkey

This is Lambada, one of the incredibly rare Baudet de Poitou donkeys of Poitou-Charente, France. With 600 to 1,000 in existence, the Poitou are among the world's most endangered animals. "These donkeys are more rare than the white rhino," said Maryon Attwood, chairwoman of the Northwest Poitou Donkey Institute in Washington state, an organization working to ensure that the animals don't go extinct.
