Poitou donkey (equus asinus, Baudet Du Poitou)
The Poitou donkey with its shaggy coat is a real rarity! At the pheasantry, you can experience these gentle giants up close and learn more about the protection of this endangered donkey breed. Visit Kiwi, Lambada, Coco and Fam on your next visit to the pheasantry.
The Poitou donkey is one of the oldest and rarest donkey breeds in the world. Originally from France, it is immediately recognizable by its shaggy, long coat. These gentle animals were once used for breeding mules. Today, they are seriously threatened with extinction, which is why the pheasantry actively contributes to conservation breeding.
Four Poitou donkeys live at the pheasantry.
Their names are Kiwi, Lambada, Coco and Fam.
