Only God can care for an animal that lives in the salt land (around the Dead Sea?), and shuns any sort of civilization, including the attempt to be domesticated. Who gave this animal such. yearning for freedom? And notice how God is able to care for animals that want to have nothing to do with man! "The freedom of the open country is more exciting to the wild donkey than all the hubbub of the city. He is so far removed from man that he does not hear 'the shouting of the driver'. He roams over vast territory, including mountains, to find food-any green thing will do. Thus his survival is dependent on God's provision" (Zuck p. 171). Hence, God has both the power and the goodness to provide for such an animal that refuses all attempts of human intervention.
