I recall a couple of blokes field dressing a roo with a shirt & hat after they hit it with the car, so they could take photograghs. As they stepped back with the camera, the roo came round & took off!

They were French as I recall, and their passports were in the shirt pocket. Almost too good to be true really. I guess dressing a squirrel is better than undressing one.
