Rogue giraffe leads mass circus breakout

Giraffes: master escapologists

Fifteen camels, two zebras and several llamas and pot-bellied pigs escaped from a circus visiting Amsterdam early on Monday, police said.

'We suspect that a giraffe kicked open a pen,' Dutch police said in a statement, adding that the animals did not get far before they were rounded up and returned to the circus.

Can you please give me the giraffe's contact info?

We should be worried if they were walking in pairs and heading for a wooden boat... oh sorry, that was last summer!

This break is obviously a conspiracy! Were there tools used, or just a swift kick by the giraffe? It must have worn silencers!
