What happens here

The farmer introduces Tammy, his guard donkey, noting that donkeys are naturally very heat tolerant. Unlike other livestock, donkeys can comfortably stand in direct sunlight without showing signs of heat stress. This inherent tolerance makes them suitable for guarding pastures even in hot conditions, showcasing a biological control aspect of integrated management by utilizing an animal's natural attributes.

Goal: Leverage donkeys' natural heat tolerance for their role as guard animals in warmer climates.
