Fake Zebras on the Loose!

(Live Leak link)
If you are going to the Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, you want to be there on drill day. Zookeepers train for escaped animal emergencies once a year, but they can’t use real animals for drills, so they dress up as zoo animals! A recent drill featured two escaped “zebras”.

Some 150 zoo workers, policemen and ambulance crew played their part, wearing hard hats and wielding sticks and nets in an attempt to capture the escapee.

The fake zebra finally fell to a fake tranquiliser gun.

I wonder if the zebra guys practiced out their tranquilizing scene.

The solution, of course, is to arm every zoo visitors with tranquilizer guns so they can take care of the situation as soon as it arises.

Where can I apply for a job as a fake zebra or fake tranquilizer sniper?

lol, Alex.

That was one vicious zebra. Knocks someone down, then goes back for more.

I like how it kicked ahead using its rear leg. Not exactly authentic.

What they didn’t tell the guys in the zebra suit was that they where using a real loaded tranquilizer gun.

Is it just me, or did the zebra’s legs remind anyone else of Alex and Droogs costumes in “A Clockwork Orange”
