π Animals taking care of other animals π
In Italy, newborn lambs that can't make the long journey from high pastures to the plains are carefully transported in special saddles on donkey and mule nannies. These nanny animals help the lambs navigate tough terrain, ensuring their safety. Once the journey is complete, the lambs are reunited with their mothers in the plains. This traditional shepherding practice is crucial for the well-being of lambs and plays a vital role in mountain farming. This is a unique and sustainable method that reflects the deep connection between nature and animal care.
