interesting - the okapi looks like a misbegotten zebra. I can't link the photo because right click doesn't work with my new computer (yet).

Looks they the have a good bit of meat on 'em. Wunner what they taste like. Couldn't find any recipes - s'pose you'd cook it up like just about any other grazing game.

Osso, what sorta computer do you have?

I'm thinking they'd take like Moose/ Elk?? Something along those lines...

But thats just my guess....

New imac desktop, Timber. Whatta lemon. I'm going to send it back with a long list of whines any day now.

On the mouse and clicking, I've switched mice, still doesn't do it.

The okapi's front legs look a bit giraffey to me....

Ignorant here, I must ask if people eat zebras...

Right, Roger, no spots on Opie.

This is coincidental, as a new breed of Giraffe has recently been discovered in Somalia.

Apparently, it is by far the tallest Giraffe on record, beating the previous record by quite a margin.
It is quite elusive, but was photographed by a spotter plane, circling at 1500 feet.

There's a South-African restaurant in Amsterdam, Pygma-Lion, that serves zebra..

Havent tried it, though my friend took the crocodile and it tasted quite good.

I love crocodile. It is flaky like fish yet tastes a little of chicken.

I guess I assume people eat zebras, what with hunger being what it is. I just haven't heard about it before. Which brings up giraffes... do people eat giraffes?

0 Replies

Only when they want a long lunch.

Or have very large butcher shop trays.

Osso, did you know that male giraffes have hydraulics?

At least, I THINK that's what a zooologist once told me.
