    Get some white paint, put stripes on it and say it's a zebra.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire

    Yeah

    It will be the only Zebra in the world that is 15" tall and bounces around on its hind legs

    Arguing with an Engineer is like Wrestling a Pig in Mud.

    After awhile you realise the Pig loves it.

    I understand You would need to get one from the pouch and with hair on it, the bigger the better. They are lactose intolerant and need to be bottle fed Infasoy baby formula. Can be close to a year bottle feeding. Little buggers need toileting as well, use a damp bit of cloth on a finger and wipe between their legs, the mother licks them in the pouch.They like a tight pouch so an old balaclava or jersey hung from a hook works well, in the cylinder cupboard. Its best to get a male Joey so you can get it de knackered when its about 6mts old, talk nicely to a country Vet!!. Don`t let it run around too much when its young , their legs need time to develop. They do like a warm bath but hold onto them they can`t swim.
    The worst part is every Kid in town will know your kids have a Wallaby, That includes the Cop`s kids and the ones who`s parents work for D.O C...........................

    Main reason they have not spread is they cannot swim and the rivers down around Waimate have enclosed them in one area. That said I was shooting Wallabys with a Guy who had followed one hopping over the Benmore dam one night heading south.
