This photograph appeared in The Times of India recently. The caption said that this creature was a cross between a horse and a zebra that was a part of some experiment, somewhere. Impressive!
My daughter regarded this photograph with a frown on her face. I was reeling under the amazing progress in genetic engineering, so a frown was not exactly the reaction I had expected.
But then, I had forgotten that a daughter is essentially a female of the species. She explained,
“This is what happens when you don’t take care of your skin. Look at this poor zebra, it’s skin has started peeling off! That’s why I apply cream all the time!”
