Tibetan wild donkeys have the habit of group activities. Female donkeys, male donkeys and young donkeys live a wandering life together all the year round. Each group has 5-8 or 20-30 heads. In summer, the population of Tibetan wild donkeys will be larger in places with good aquatic plants and less human interference. The number of Tibetan wild donkeys living in Ishakpati Lake in Altun Mountain Nature Reserve of Xinjiang is often between 100 ~ 200. On the other hand, there are usually 3-5 small groups in the Halten Basin on the northern edge of Qaidam Basin, and individual wild donkeys that move alone are also common.

Tibetan wild donkeys are extremely drought-resistant and can go without drinking water for several days. Their hearing, smell and vision are very sensitive, and they can detect situations hundreds of meters away from themselves. If you find someone approaching or being attacked by the enemy, look up quietly, stare for a moment, and then sprint. After running for a long distance, I feel safe, stop and stand and watch, and then run again. Always run, stop and have a look before running. Good group life, good at running and high vigilance. I like to eat thatch, moss and Artemisia.

Tibetan wild donkeys also have a very special habit, and they like to race with cars. When the car drives into the place where the Tibetan wild donkey moves, the wild donkey in the distance will watch curiously as the car approaches them. When the car approached them, the wild donkey immediately ran forward, trying to keep parallel with the car. Sometimes drivers are also interested in competing with wild donkeys, driving at 60 kilometers per hour to compete with wild donkeys. The wild donkey races with the car. In the end, it always runs to the front of the car and will pass by before giving up. Wild donkeys often run for a while after passing the car, and then stop to watch. Sometimes wild donkeys will pay the price of their lives because of this strange behavior. Some poachers chase wild donkeys by car. Once a car and four wild donkeys ran neck and neck for more than ten kilometers in the desert at an altitude of 4000 meters, and the speed of the wild donkeys did not slow down at all. Although Tibetan wild donkeys have excellent endurance and can run for 40-50 kilometers without rest, chasing wild animals for a long time may have adverse consequences for them. In this "race", people finally slowed down and let the wild donkey run in front of the car.

Tibetan wild donkeys have the habit of migrating short distances with the seasons. Usually activities are very regular. Drink water from the water source in the morning, feed and rest on the grassland during the day, and go back to the depths of the mountains for the night at night. Wandering for dozens of kilometers every day. In places where wild donkeys often move, undisturbed Tibetan wild donkeys like to form a single file when they move. Near grasslands and water sources, you often walk along a fixed route, leaving a unique "donkey path" on the grass. Donkeys are about 20 cm wide in diameter and criss-cross everywhere. Clever Tibetan wild donkeys will "dig wells" in the river bend when there is drought and water shortage. They dug a big puddle about half a meter deep on the beach with their hooves, which local herders called "donkey well". These puddles not only provide drinking water for themselves, but also provide water for animals such as Tibetan antelope, Tibetan gazelle and goose throat antelope.
