Nah, that's not a real donkey. It's a model.

Kinda funny.

I saw something similar at the Deutches Museum, in Munchen, if I recall correctly. (It might have been elsewhere, though.)

Apparently, a lot of mines used donkeys to haul ore-carts. However, in many cases, the donkeys had a corral in a chamber in the mine, and never saw the open air.

The donkeys were born inside the mine, worked in the mine, and died there, and never knew anything different.
