Buffalo and tennis; together at last

Slacktivist has the poop on this. Go looky! I like his comment on the general fun of large animals where they don't belong:


So go ahead and build a private tennis court. Post signs and enlist the local police to keep out the riff-raff. Arrange your life so that you never have to see or acknowledge the existence of such people. Pretend that nothing -- not God, or nature, or chaos, or other people in need -- can intrude on the little dominion you've created for yourself.

Do all that and, one day, you will still wind up with a black bear going through the garbage in your gated community, or a moose at your mall, or a herd of buffalo on your tennis court.

One of the coolest peices of engineering I've ever seen. Certainly the coolest-looking anyway. Click on the "falkirk wheel" tag on the bottom right of the Flickr page to get more pics.
