Big Game Shooting 



prepared "corral," the fences round which are 

 concealed as much as possible and firmly braced 

 in case the zebras took it into their heads to 

 stampede. 



The zebra farm on the Morendat River, near 

 Lake Naivasha, is well worth going to see when 

 they have any animals there. I append a photo- 

 graph of the tamest there, " Tommy " by name, 

 if I remember right, which was quiet in single 

 and double harness, and had carried a lady. I 

 once, however, saw a four-in-hand of zebras start 

 from Naivasha railway station, and patted myself 

 on the back that I was not handling (or hauling 

 at !) the ribbons. 



They are very common indeed, and wander 

 about in herds of from ten to twenty and upwards 

 of two hundred. 



They are occasionally requisitioned by other 

 animals to keep watch for them. 



The native is very fond of their flesh, and is 

 always begging one to shoot them.
