Zebra escapes from Tokyo zoo
Feb. 20 - An escapee zebra, albeit a papier-mache one, runs around a Tokyo zoo charging and kicking zookeepers during an earthquake drill.
Alarms were raised at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo after a papier-mache zebra broke free from its pen and injured two zookeepers and a visitor in this simulated escape.
A total of 150 zoo workers, policemen and ambulance crew played their part in capturing the wayward zebra.
The annual event is aimed at preparing Tokyo zookeepers for all the risks involved with rescuing wild and sometimes irate animals.Every year, the drill features different animals ensuring that zoo workers are prepared for every eventuality.
