Eeyore the donkey is something of a rarity - at 54 he is thought to be the world's oldest living donkey.
Born in 1957 he now holds a Guiness World Record for his longevity, donkeys usually live only 25-30 years. He's looked after by animal lover Selwyn Demmy who runs an animal sanctuary in Cheshire.
He was born the same year Tommy Steele was topping the charts and the Russians sent Sputnik into space. Like his famous namesake, he's been around for donkey's years - but at the age of 54, Eeyore is being hailed as the oldest living donkey in the world.
