Right, the sign was fabricated for a zoo exhibit in Rochester, I have no idea how they developed it but someone purposely left the WOMBAT off the non Rochester signs. Whoever design it obviously used the miles conversion on the Rochester sign since it’s in the US, maybe it was a bit of a jab at our countries non conversion.

The Tanzannian border is 120 km from Nairobi and the Ugandan border is 350 km. BTW, there is no mile equivalent for either Johannesburg or Nairobi..
