I know a tiny town in Texas where a woman keeps a few zebras. They are interesting animals. She has a very sturdy 10 foot chain link fence to hold them.

A Zebra can stand right next to a 6 foot fence and jump it without taking a step first. They are very powerful animals and nothing to fool around with.

One has to wonder - why were they never domesticated? If they are so strong and so hardy?
Maybe they don't get along with people so well?

Bison can do the same thing only higher... That is, if they don’t just shove the fence over.

Zebra printers (as much as I despise printers) stand up to years of 24x7 use where I am.

Lucky guy me is the one who gets the early AM phone call on a weekend to change a 170 type out or put some rollers in a little one.

If I had a nickel for all the labels they’ve kicked out in the past decade and change in service, that would be a fat check.
