Yesterday I was visiting the city of Punto Fijo in the Paraguana peninsula in Venezuela,this is the closest land to the Netherland Antilles and I noticed there were wild donkeys because of the several advertisements warning drivers to drive carefully due to donkeys on the way so I thought,will these donkeys be the same kind of those living in Bonaire?,Does anybody know if bonairean donkeys come from Venezuela or if is it the opposite?

Victor,

That's an interesting question. I would guess the Spanish brought them to both places. I believe they came to the N.A. and the Paraguana Peninsula around the same time.

O.k!,thank you Alex.Yeah,probably they are neither native from Bonaire nor Venezuela,were brought to these lands from abroad,and by the way,the Paraguana landscape looks alike as BonaireĀ“s,probably once they were united.
