Perry, who inspired Shrek's Donkey character, dies at 30 surrounded by his closest donkey friends
Briefly

Perry lived at Bol Park since 1997, serving as the model for the beloved Donkey character in 'Shrek,' voiced by Eddie Murphy. His passing at 30 marks the end of a unique legacy.
His handler, Jenny Kiratli, noted the deep emotional bond among the donkeys: 'Through the night they were moving up, nosing in, understanding that he was gone. They grieved.' This showcases the remarkable social nature of animals.
