Thailand zookeeper dresses as ostrich in novel approach to training drill
Chiang Mai Zoo not keeping its head in the sand, with man captured after fleeing enclosure in bird suit as part of ‘wild animal management plan’
A man dressed as an eight foot tall ostrich with a towering bird neck strapped to his head was successfully pinned down with a fishing net after running amok in a Thailand zoo this week.
The staff member was taking part in a training drill designed to ensure the animal was unable to escape its enclosure, should the real-world situation ever arise.
