Baby animals normally know their size and their place around other animals. But for a tiny but mighty baby donkey named Jack, nobody stands in between him and his food as you’ll see in this video that TikToker @kk73158 shared at the end of October.
Jack doesn’t realize (or maybe he just doesn’t care) that he’s much smaller than his cow neighbors. So when he sees them enjoying a meal, but there’s no room for him to get in on the action, he has the funniest way of making them move, even though they are much bigger than he is!
Jack proves that size doesn’t matter when you’ve got confidence! In the video’s caption, Jack’s mom shared, “Tiny but mighty! Nobody comes between Jack and his food.” We can relate, Jack!

Funny Reactions to the Kicking Baby Donkey
Although this is only Jack’s mom’s second TikTok, people loved it! The video has more than 4 million views and viewers have left nearly 5,000 comments. We laughed when @mathewvoth7 joked, “What an ass! LOL!” @DaveYwaveY added, “That’s a donkey that knows he is the ‘GOAT’!”
@megsig pointed out, “Checking to make sure it was something he wanted first…” @qnews5 agreed, “He had to make sure it was worth the trouble LOL!” @LeesaLaird shared, “I mean, he clearly asked nicely. Before he came in hot!” @rampee added, “Just turned around and started kicking!” Another commenter joked, “I’m going to try this in the line at Walmart.”
Commenter @Luna Chihuahua shared, “Omg I did not expect that LOL! What a savage!” @LuLu had the same thought, “And I was worried about the little fella lol!” @Danny agreed, “Donkey woke up and chose violence today,” while @Randy added, “He cleared the whole pasture!!!”
The Donkey Sanctuary explained why Jack immediately started kicking like he was hangry, “Insufficient space increases the competition with herd mates for food and personal space; this in turn increases stress, which can affect the temperament of the donkey.” Jack saw the whole situation as competition, and his natural defense mechanism —kicking —kicked right in! Something tells us that the next time he’s hungry and the cows are blocking his way, he’ll have no problem doing it again!
