So that's why people say mules are stubborn, because they're sensing all of these little...
non-verbal cues that a horse might just be apt to say, oh, he pulled on the reins, so I'm going to go that way.
He pushed his foot, so I'm going to go that way.
And that's why also mules are also extremely, they're used in war and they're used in Grand Canyon trail riding and things like this.
If a horse is walking along the edge of a cliff and a snake jumps out, the horse might be apt to just jump the other way off the cliff, killing itself.
Whereas a mule will instantly...
Identify, cliff that way, snake that way, danger both ways, mule will kill the snake.
It'll stomp out the snake.
Or at least won't jump off the cliff.
So it's... That's way better.
You know, donkeys and mules, especially donkeys, and mules have donkeys, so they're actually used a lot as livestock protection animals because they'll stomp out a coyote or a wolf.
So a lot of farmers get them, put them in with their sheep.
And they'll actually protect the herd.
So it's not impossible, but it is pretty uncommon that coyotes.
In my area, the wolves are not gray wolves.
