Model For Shrek’s “Donkey” Passes On

Pericles the Donkey, who was used as the model for the beloved Donkey in "Shrek", has passed on at 30 years old. The native New Yorker was said to have a talkative and energetic personality, which made him the ideal inspiration for the character voiced by Eddie Murphy. "He was a part of the whole community, and everyone is mourning for him. So many people knew him," Jenny Kiratli of the Barron Park Donkey Project said. Perry was euthanized on January 2nd after experiencing arthritis, muscle atrophy, and other conditions. (Indian Express)
