Yep, they are one of the toughest animals to put down on the planet! I've never weighed one, but I would guess that the bigger one, the Jack, would weigh maybe 250kg. How does that sound, John? They are possibly a little smaller than zebra. They are smaller than brumbies, on comparative models (mature Jack and mature stallion). In Australia, we do a lot of cull hunting. The quantity of animals that require shooting, combined with the heat and distance, usually dictates that we leave carcasses laying out in the bush. These disappear very rappidly, filling birds of prey, goannas, feral pigs, and dingoes (feral or native depending on which state or territory you're in). All animals can be eaten, but we tend to favour young goats, young buffalo, young scrub cattle or deer if we want to fill a freezer (these animals are not all in the same part of Australia).
