Fourteen animals including a llama and a pony escaped from a petting zoo on Tuesday, leading to a mad scramble by officers and zoo workers to round them all up. The animals had slipped through a hole in a fence in their enclosure at the petting zoo, and made a run for it, according to zoo officials. The escapees included nine sheep, two donkeys, one llama, a pony and a dwarf bull. The llama was spotted in a park, while the pony and donkeys made it into someone’s back courtyard. “The animals thought that it would certainly be quite exciting to explore the city on their own,” police wrote on Facebook.
