Semi OT - Animals in War

One of those pics reminded me of one time I was about 5 and I heard a news report which stated "Guerrillas with small arms were attacking a village". I imagined gorillas with T-Rex like forearms rampaging through a village. Was really fearful of that for a time lol.

Like a scene out of Captain Ron if I recall the movies name correctly...
"There are NO gorillas on these islands.."
Later "You should have said GURRR nor GOR.." or something to that effect.

I've just been watching a story on Australia's ABCTV 7:30 Report about goats being extensively used as beasts of burden in outback Australia during the 19th and early 20th centuries especially by poorer families. There were photographs and early film footage of teams of goats hitched up to small wagons used to cart various cargoes but especially water. There was also footage showing very popular (and heavily wagered upon) goat harness races with children driving miniature chariots pulled by 'racing goats'.

Yes. Its pretty strange.
