The animal had escaped from the circus in the city of Bitburg, but as the police tried to track it down they were left confused when they couldn’t initially see it. A wild animal of this nature walking around an urban environment would be easy to spot, you would have thought.

Only the striped markings on the animal camouflaged it with the road markings, flumoxing the police fro several moments until they realised the circus escapee was actually right there in front of them.

Thankfully a circus worker came and collected the wandering animal shortly after.
