Runaway Ostrich Captured After Dodging Traffic in South Korea

A male ostrich named Tadori escaped from a zoo in Seongnam, South Korea, due to loneliness after his mate died. The 4-year-old ostrich was captured an hour later by authorities using a net and safely returned to the zoo. This incident is similar to a previous animal escape involving a zebra in Seoul. Witnesses recorded videos of Tadori running down a busy street, colliding with a truck, and being captured in a parking lot 1.6 miles from the zoo.
