Sometimes the world presents us with gifts so weird and wonderful we can only watch wide eyed – and this my friends is one such gift.

What you are watching is an ACTUAL drill, filmed at a zoo in Tokyo, simulating what staff will do in the event of an escaped zebra.

Let’s take a moment to consider that costume and how calm the person inside remains under pressure. The scope of the operation from the Guardian:

A total of 150 zoo staff members, police officers and fire fighters participated in the biannual simulation at the Ueno Zoological Gardens.

Wow, there really aren’t words that do this justice.

A heads up though Japan, if you want to dart an animal everyone knows you call in the best…
