In Auckland, New Zealand, a man bathed in the moat of a rhino and antelope enclosure. Footage showed him paddling in the water in his undershirt on his back and then washing his face and hands.
The zoo’s enclosure is home to rhinoceroses and rare nyala antelopes from Southeast Africa. The animals were “understandably” shocked by the intruder, according to a spokesman for the zoo. According to a zoologist interviewed, the man made a foolish and dangerous decision with his bath in the enclosure. He was lucky to have survived the incident. The animals are very fast and smell nice.
In addition, the unusual intruder would have put the animals at the zoo at risk of being shot or detained in some way. While many visitors gathered in front of the fence, the staff quickly intervened. They gave the man instructions, which he followed after a few minutes. After he left the enclosure and was taken from the zoo, he was handed over to the police.
No injuries
Zoo director Kevin Buley said he was relieved that the incident went smoothly. No one was injured. Buley now hopes the unwanted bather gets “the help and support he clearly needs”.
