Donkeys

 

The Ponui is New Zealand's only breed of feral donkey.  Three were introduced to Ponui Island in the Hauraki Gulf during the 1880's. 

Donkeys are not generally working animals in New Zealand, but are used as pets or for showing.  Donkeys are a very friendly and sociable animal.

Please note: Our Donkey is the only animal in our park which may not always be on display due to grazing requirements.  If he is not within the park itself, he can usually be spotted on our surrounding farmland.
