Aliens

Straight out of a star trek movie…I was walking in the forest with a few friends on Sunday morning and we came across an alien creature….honest…(might have been attached to the circus on the green but I prefer to believe the first option)

If you painted a pony would it not look like a zebra, act like a zebra, sound like a zebra? ??? Then isn’t a zebra only really a painted pony ??? sort of a pony in drag.
Mind you you are in London - I could just imagine some East End barrow boy with bleach and black hair dye flogging off a few old ponies as zebras.
But seriously some one actually told me they aren???t a horse kind of animal (Equestrian) but part of the deer family or antelope or something!!
I don???t know.
But I have always wondered why the Gods made an animal that stands out so much ??? I mean other animals that run around on the plains of Africa (and that have an appeal to the large cat appetite) tend to have markings that blend in ??? camouflage sort of thing. But not the poor ol??? Zebra he stands out like a traffic sign ??? black and white!! What???s that all about then, were they originally from the Polar Regions like other animals of the same colour schemes? Did they sort of migrated down to the warmer climate or something.

Gina, I think you should get back on your spaceship and avoid the aliens. This one looks hungry.
To answer Peter’s question, maybe it was designed to be eaten by the big cats? They have to eat something. Maybe God gave them up to be tasty, easily seen morcels?

Continuing along Peters thoughts…there’s a classic Gary Larson cartoon with a deer in the forest that has a Bullseye painted on its chest. Another deer is saying to it “Bummer of a birthmark, Hal”.
