I went to an Italian zoo today. They had the usual menagerie; giraffes, monkeys, kangaroos and your typical assortment of birds.
But one animal struck me as exceptionally unusual: the North American Deer. Yes, this rare and exotic beauty comes from the far-away, almost mythical land of North America, where it roams freely today to become tomorrow's roadkill.
That's when it hit me. This must be how Australians feel when they go to ANY zoo anywhere. "Oh, you have kangaroos? We have special guardrails on our cars so they can survive impacts with those things. Crocodiles? Ha. That's not a croc..."
"Deer? Ha. That's not a deer."
