What the hell are you talking about? That's clearly a zebra.

It looks more like a giraffe with a very short neck

A fed wild animal is a dead wild animal

I suspect the one on the photo lives in captivity.

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Not captivity, we have around 40 hectares. But no predators and we have to feed in winter anyway.

For a change chatgpt is correct.

What is it and can you pet it?

[–] Peter1986C@lemmings.world 6 points 7 hours ago

A nyala, according to other comments and as confirmed by Wikipedia.

[–] johsny@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Can’t really pet them, they (these ones, anyway) are quite docile but can be dangerous if you’re not careful. They’re very strong, and to be honest not really good to pet because the hair is coarse and hard.

Without the photo this sounds like the opening line to a very creepy story
