Explanation:
[STC001659] There are between 100 and 120 donkeys living on the little island of Asinara, which is off the northwest coast of Sardinia, Italy. The majority of the herd is at least partially albinistic, which means that their skin and hair lack pigment, which makes this small group uncommon. And they have been developing on the island for more than a century without any human interference. It is unknown how the donkeys ended there on the island, but Italian scientists recently discovered the albinism-causing gene mutation, which may have been enhanced by the population’s isolation and frequent inbreeding. The name of the island is Italian for ‘donkey-inhabited,’ and that’s pretty much all you’ll find there — the island was closed to the public in 1885 and was used as quarantine and then as a prison until 1997. The island is now a protected natural reserve, and the only way for people to visit Asinara is on a guided tour.
