This Baby Donkey Thinks He's a Parkour Pro-and It's Hilarious
Someone's going to sleep well tonight! One woman couldn't help but laugh when she realized that her baby donkey was in a silly, goofy mood. The little one must have had his daily cup of coffee because he was practically zooming around his mama. He really was moving! Now people online can't get enough of the little one and his adorable "parkour" moves.
It looks like mom was letting her little one entertain himself while she was resting. And entertain himself he did! The little donkey couldn't sit still and it was absolutely precious.

What a cute baby! The clip makes me think that he's just getting used to his little legs - oh! Or maybe he's feeling the buzz of a nice, warm summer's day. Either way, the baby donkey really had his human cracking up with the way he was zooming around the field.

"We're back at it with the morning's zoomie-sesh, but this morning we have a bunch of donkey kicks tossed in," she narrated from behind the camera. She wasn't wrong! The donkey really was practicing his donkey kicks - hi-yah! Hi-yah!
"Mom's just enjoying some breakfast," the woman continued. Meanwhile, her baby was running laps around her. What a little scamp!
"You're so fast now!" she praised.
Commenters were absolutely smitten with the little guy.
"Hey, mom. Mom. Hey mom, watch this," wrote one person, as if speaking for the little donk.
"Patches of grass being taller than him, stawppppp," someone else chimed in.
"OMG I don't know how you can get anything else done with that cutie around. I would just be playing all day with him," a third person admitted.
"The way he completely disappears behind the tiny bush," one person added.
Why Do Animals Get the Zoomies?
The zoomies are sort of mysterious, aren't they? Why do so many animals get the zoomies, anyway?
The answer might not surprise you. Animals get the zoomies when they have a sudden burst of energy. They happen pretty randomly and are known as Frenetic Random Activity Periods (FRAPs).
It's not a bad thing! It just means your pet is happy and needs to let all that energy out. So have no fear! To your fur-bestie, the zoomies are tons of fun.
