A striped carriage teamSourced
Four zebras pulled his carriage to Buckingham Palace
Walter Rothschild, a keen zoologist, drove a carriage harnessed to four zebras to Buckingham Palace. The demonstration was intended to show that zebras could be tamed. The vehicle was familiar, but the animals pulling it made the journey remarkable.
The carriage kept its shape while the team changed its stripes.
