Camels, zebras, llamas on the lam
AMSTERDAM, Nether-lands—Amsterdam police say 15 camels, two zebras and an undetermined number of llamas and potbellied swine briefly escaped from a traveling Dutch circus after a giraffe kicked a hole in their cage.
Police spokesman Arnout Aben says the animals wandered in a group through a nearby neighborhood for several hours after their 5:30 a.m. breakout. The animals were back at the circus later Monday after being rounded up by police and circus workers with the assistance of dogs. Aben says neighbors fed some of the animals—which he said was a bad idea—but they were tame and nobody was hurt. Says Aben: “You have to imagine somebody rubbing his eyes first thing in the morning and saying, ’Am I seeing things or is that 15 camels walking past?”’ Featured Texarkana Business Directory Articles
