It's either someone's escaped pet or feral. I've never heard of feral donkeys showing up in Virginia but I wouldn't rule it out. Bears, mountain lions and coyotes are making a come back in the areas backing up to the mountains. We had the Natural Resources guys tracking a black bear in my stream last year and I'm not in an area that is nearly as wild as some areas of Virginia. On my usual bike trail I've come face to face with escaped goats, sheep, llamas, donkeys, mules, horses, turkeys and the occasional emus. My neighbor's cows are escape artists, they've learned how to turn off the electric fence and I've come around the bend more than once to see his cows milling around in the center of the road. He used to have free range chickens but between foxes and hawks he was pretty much cleaned out.
