    I'd imagine that most of the African Big Five fall into the "beef" category. Other than the leopard, that is.

    Still, I don't need a .600 Nitro Express to slaughter a cow. Unless it's a Cape Buffalo, in which case a .700 is preferable unless there's a Karl Gustaf 84mm recoilless handy. This probably explains why our ancestors stuck to domesticating relatively small herbivores as victuals. No fools, they.

    cheers

    Mosin three-lines rifle, enough for anything. Even dinosaurs.

    When I hear 'dinochicken', I think of
    'A Statue for Father' by Isaac Asimov.

    So I googled "dinochicken". Came up with links to efforts to get chicken embryos to express the genes they still have for teeth, forearms, etc., from their dinosaur days. If any of these succeeds, Gary Larson may just have to come out of retirement.
