I hesitate to post this link because one zebra met an awful end, but no
human was hurt in this nasty runway incursion. Warning: the zebra is in
terrible shape, and the pics are pretty graphic.

I guess the lesson is, be aware of your surroundings! A zebra isn't
likely to get into this kind of trouble in America, but we DO have lots
of deer, moose, even bears that come to grief every year. And some
pilots are not as lucky as these two. Scan the periphery of the runway
to make sure no critters are about to make any foolish moves!

I had to wait once before the environmental correct lawn mowers (aka
sheep) had moved from their job.
Stupid thing to see for the very first time.
I like kebab, but I do not like it to have it sprayed all over my
plane so I switched of the engine while waiting.

P.S. Met a dog or two on the runway, a bit smarter animals, they run
away.
