You know that feeling when you walk into somewhere real fancy and don’t know what to do with yourself or how to eat baby corn properly?

A few Arizona burros totally get it. After a life of desert sand, they were suddenly thrust into Montgomery Creek Ranch's grassy field, forced to make sense of this new ground.

The admins of the ranch's Facebook page said the video has been viewed over six million times.

"We turned the burro herd out onto grass to get them used to this 'foreign' terrain before turning them out on the ranch to run free," they wrote on Facebook.

"What a truly amazing sight!"

Even if the adjustment is difficult, they'll surely enjoy the fact that their new grassy stomping grounds are much more edible than sand. Bonus!
