This Baby Donkey's Sweet Little 'Bowl Cut' Is Almost Too Cute to Handle

It's inevitable. At some point everyone has a bowl cut phase. Usually this happens when you're young and cute. This is definitely true for a baby donkey who looked absolutely precious with his own little ‘do. People online were so charmed by the sweet little guy and his nifty little haircut. It really did suit him so well.

Shared by Mama Krista, who frequently posts videos of her adorable donks, the video is so stinkin' cute.

awww so cute - Cherri

This is an excellent reason to go out and get yourself a baby donkey, don't you think? Sure, they need a lot of love and care, but the upside is that they're so precious. This baby donk is such a good example of this fact. How could you watch the clip and not fall in love with that little face?

Even Krista couldn't stop herself from gushing over the little one.

"My literal reaction every time we have a new baby donkey," she wrote in the text overlay, before a trending TikTok sound chimed in, "So cute!"

"Like how are they real??" she wondered in the caption.

It's a good question. They are too cute for words! People in the comments section were absolutely living for the baby donkey and his haircut.

"The signature hair ‘do," quipped one person.

"Can't help but fall in love with them," someone else chimed in.

"I love your baby bowl cut," added another commenter.

"They couldn't be any cuter. Love them so much it hurts," one person wrote.

How Tall Do Donkeys Get?

This donkey is pretty tiny, but one day he'll be big! Depending on the Donk, these animals can come in a variety of sizes. Donkeys are measured using hands and usually are measured up to the point between their shoulders (known as their withers).

Miniature donkeys can be about 7.3 hands high (or about 79 cm or 31 inches), while other breeds, like Poitou donkeys, can measure up to 15.3 hands. The weight of a full grown donkey can vary greatly. Some are as small as 180 lbs., while others weigh up to 1,060 lbs.

The cool thing is that all donkeys start out the same - very, very cute.
