Water Buffalo Escape Film Set, Roam Sydney Streets

Where do the buffalo roam? Apparently, Sydney, Australia.

During the filming of an ad, two water buffalo escaped from the set at a park and strolled down the streets of Newtown, a suburb of the city, Reuters reports. Firefighters used ladders to corral the animals into a “makeshift pen” and live-tweeted the action.

“We were all standing back, we were all going ‘That’s really random’,” a University of Sydney student Abril Felman told Reuters.
