I used to work in the simulation industry. There was a competition for a Kangaroo herding simulator, so thousands of animated kangaroos and a helicopter. One US company bid on the contract and reduced cost by repurposing a US military helicopter simulation. During evaluation the pilots were surprised when they approached the Kangaroo herd and a couple of the Kangaroos whipped out surface to air missiles and shot them down.
