Among the multiple species found within U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground’s over 1,300 square miles of range space are wild horses and burros, well known to all YPG personnel who spend their days in the field testing equipment. Aside from favorable weather and plenty to eat and drink, the creatures tend to live long lives due to their sheer size and wary pack mentality that deters desert predators.
“They’ve got a lot of personality," said Daniel Steward, wildlife biologist. "Burros are less likely to shy away from people than a deer. They’re entertaining -- people truly do enjoy seeing these animals around.”
