The smart ass who refuses to be caged has figured out how to open the wooden gate using his teeth. In a cute video the animal is seen watching his donkey mates struggle to find a way through the barrier.

So, clearly the brainiest of the bunch, he intervenes.
He approaches the barrier and picks up one of the wooden bars with his mouth, dropping it on the floor and creating a free passage through the gate.
This isn’t the first time the clever donkey has been filmed doing this.
His owners at Paradise sanctuary in Ronco Scrivia, northern Italy, caught him doing the same thing last month and posted the clip to their Facebook page.
The problem-solving donkey is called Oreste and has become quite the social media star. Sanctuary staff say he’s much brighter than the other donkeys there.
