Donkeys and intelligence? :0

I recently came across a person about 60 years old. He said he worked in Forestry Department somewhere.

He told me something I never knew and it was a great thing to know. According to him, whenever any kind of construction work is to be done in any hilly area or not-so-smooth plane, instead of conducting a tectonic survey they use a donkey.

I mean.. hello?? really? of all animals in this world they got only DONKEY for their help? lol!

Well, they actually use a donkey with one sack on either side full of sand. A small hole at the bottom of both the sacks is made so as to get the markings done. They say donkey is an intelligent animal and can easily find the shortest path with minimum resistance.

Sounds strange. But may be it's true. hehe.. "Truth is stranger than fiction."
