The long road to freedom - a giraffe is on the lam in Thailand

Bankok, Thailand — Has anyone seen a giraffe running on a highway in Thailand?

Two giraffes escaped from a truck and only one has been caught.

The following flyer was posted on Facebook by The Matter.  (The translation is a bit unclear but it appears to be a joke about the situation)

The pair were being transported Tuesday from a Bangkok airport to a new zoo in Prachinburi province. When the truck stopped at an intersection, the giraffes jumped out and ran away, local media reported.

Their escape caused a traffic jam and some motorists honked their horns to scare the giraffes away.

A video posted on social media showed a giraffe galloping in the middle of a road during daytime, while another filmed at dusk showed a giraffe in front of a bush, with vehicles passing in the background.

We found it on YouTube posted by Dailynews online.
