(NaturalNews) Four years ago, we rescued two 'Jesus donkeys' from the horrific fires of Bastrop, Texas. And today, those donkeys have a new baby! As the photos show below, we have a new baby Jesus donkey!

These donkeys are nicknamed "Jesus donkeys" because they bear a dark cross on their backs. From the side, it looks like a stripe, but from above, it's a cross. I didn't learn until recently that they're called "Jesus donkeys." (See top view picture, below, showing the cross.)

This morning when I was out in the forest, I heard one of the donkeys bawling, so I ran to investigate. As I approached, I was delighted to find a new baby donkey standing upright, slightly stumbling around and drying its fur in the sun.

As I approached, it ran right up to me and nuzzled against my chest. Momma was rightfully protective, and she didn't want me hogging all the baby time, so I only got a few hugs.

Because this is momma's first baby, I checked her teats to make sure they were producing milk. (They were.) Soon after, I saw the baby nursing and then having a healthy looking bowel movement -- both are VERY good signs for the health of this baby donkey.

Now the biggest challenge is keeping her alive from the preying coyotes. Daddy donkey is pretty good at stomping coyotes, but I'm going to run some night vision patrols with my AR-15 as a protective measure just in case. (That's one more great use of a battle rifle to protect life, by the way. Anybody reading this who is "anti-gun" has never lived in the real world where animals need protection.)

Help me celebrate this birth and NAME the donkey!

In celebration of this birth of a Jesus donkey at the Health Ranger ranch, I'm asking Natural News readers to name the donkey.

Please post your name suggestions in the comments below this article. The donkey is MALE.

In the meantime, please send prayers for the safety of this newborn which is only ONE DAY OLD! There are many risks for newborn infants, including coyotes and accidents, but with the help of the parents plus my trusty AR-15, we will keep the coyotes at bay as best we can. Still, the survival of this newborn is not guaranteed. This isn't some Disney feature film. This is the real world, and in the real world, life of newborn animals is never guaranteed.
