Man Dressed as Zebra Can't Escape Zoo Keepers

This Japanese zoo is taking full precautions so that none of its animals go missing during an earthquake. To prepare, the Tama Zoo outside Tokyo is running what may be the wackiest drill EVER created.

To create a realistic sense of fear and emergency (we imagine), the zoo employs a human to dress in a zebra costume and terrorize the other workers.

The BBC captured the drill in which the human-zebra pretty much head-butts one of the guys holding the barricade so they are forced to "tranquilize" it. We also wonder if the zebra was targeted as the jail-breaker because of its predisposition to black and white stripes.

God bless you, Japan, for always being prepared.
