Over at Tring Park, Walter Rothschild had a collection of exotic species and successfully broke a number of Zebras to harness.





I just wonder how long it took and how many failed to make the grade.

It appears if they were born in captivity, they can be trained by a person who has a good relationship with them. But unlike horses, a Zebra caught in the wild is almost impossible to break. Like everything, there must be exceptions.

For the movie Sheena, they painted a horse to look like a zebra.

I would love to see something like that, but I doubt that's on the itinerary.

Every time I see a compilation of "pictures from ___", whether it's Omaha or Antarctica, I estimate how many years it would take the normal non-resident to accumulate the right combination of subject, season, weather, light, etc, to capture those pictures. It's usually a lot.

Don't forget research, Bruce. The 'normal non-resident' won't even know about the majority of these places.

Like my story about taking a picture of a mountain in NZ reflected in a specific puddle.
