	Neither it was stated that there were no such files.

	To find the duplicates, the command like the following could
	have been used:

$ cd /mnt/deer/ \
      && find . -type f -not -wholename ./zebra/\* \
             -exec cmp -- {} zebra/{} \; \
             -print 

	While to remove them (after double-checking!), the final -print
	can be replaced with:

             -exec rm -v -- {} +
