Oppie
A standard donkey
Oppie is a sweet standard donkey named after J. Robert Oppenheimer of Manhattan Project fame. He came from southern New Mexico and is used to life with goats, horses, and cows. Oppie loves treats, head scratches, and even having his big ears rubbed. He sometimes gives pony rides during special petting zoo times for $15. Donkeys are very smart and can be a little stubborn, and their loud bray is unforgettable. Oppie is usually quiet, so feel lucky if he talks to you!
