SEOUL (Reuters) – Six elephants escaped from a zoo and roamed around the South Korean capital Wednesday, briefly crashing their way into a restaurant before being rounded up, police and zoo officials said.
The elephants were on a parade led by mahouts outside their enclosure inside Seoul Children’s Grand Park in the east of the city when one was apparently startled and bolted, a zoo official said by telephone.
The five others followed “because they have the tendency to do that,” the official said.
NewMexiKen doesn’t know what elephants would order in a Korean restaurant, but in a Chinese place they should try the Kung Po Chicken.
