Weird BUT true

-

Maybe these fowl were just looking for a place to bury their heads.

A flock of 80 ostriches ran wild through the streets of Chongzuo, China, recently.

Media reported that the big birds escaped from a farm when their pen was not closed properly. The owner retrieved most of his flock with the help of police.

A British mother was “disgusted” after a creepy killerclow­n on YouTube told her 3-year-old son to kill his family during a purportedl­y educationa­l video about dinosaurs.

The boy’s father had clicked on the video titled “Counting For Kids.” Part of the way through, the footage was interrupte­d by images of children being stabbed in the neck and dismembere­d along side a terrifying clown who sang a catchy song that instructed the boy to “kill them all.”

Police in Texas had to hop to it to catch a loose kangaroo.

After the marsupial escaped from its exotic-pet owner, it was captured and returned by Hidalgo County sheriff ’s deputies.

It’s unclear exactly how the marsupial beast escaped, but it did no damage to property.

The croc was a crock. Officials at the Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo in Wales panicked when a visitor told them there was a strange-looking critter floating in the water inside of the zoo’s banded mongoose enclosure. But they discovered that the animal was in fact a plastic toy crocodile that someone had dropped in the pond.

A large herd of elk brought traffic to a standstill in North Carolina and left lucky spectators in awe as the animals crossed a highway in Cherokee, near Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Elk are native to the area, but were not seen for hundreds of years due to overhuntin­g, until they were reintroduc­ed to the park 20 years ago.

Now, sightings have become more common in the region. Patrick Reilly, Wires
