Kerri Gleason adopted Thunder. He was the first she fed and she fell in love with him. He is very sweet. He is indeed, however sometimes very loud. Around 11.30 am he stands in the back of the visitors center and starts braying. Originally the sound will carry very far and in this case under the roof it is deafening. We still love him though.

Thanks to our sponsors!
