Google denies Street View car ran over donkey, adds to intrigue
An image displayed on Google Street View from Kweneng, Botswana, is interpreted by some as showing a donkey that had been struck by the Google vehicle. (Google / January 15, 2013)

A scene captured by a Google Street View vehicle in Kweneng, Botswana, that went viral Monday seems to show the car hitting and possibly killing a donkey on the road.
The scene is still visible on Google Street View: The Google vehicle appears to come up upon a standing donkey before knocking it over.
But Google has a different version of the incident and insists the animal is fine.
"Our Street View teams take the safety of people and donkeys very seriously," Google said in a statement. "A review of our imagery confirms that we did not cause any harm to the donkey."

The donkey might have heard about all those people that play dead when the Google car drives by?
