The wild donkeys (burros) are not quite as wild here in the village, even if I have some respect for them, because just something too intrusive. But if you watch out, you can see them in the hills on the access roads to Oatman.

This Wild West living ghost town on Route 66 is filled with wild burros. In 1863 mountain man Johnny Moss struck gold in Oatman, after which its population and gold exports boomed. This boom lasted until 1941 when the United States entered World War II and ordered all Oatman miners to stop mining for gold and to instead excavate minerals for use in World War II.

The burros love carrots! But if one starts to feed, they will become VERY demanding... ;-)
