Two zebras, 15 camels, and an undetermined number of llamas and pot-bellied pigs briefly escaped from a travelling Dutch circus after a giraffe kicked a hole in their cage.

A spokesman said the animals wandered in a group through a nearby suburb for several hours after their breakout.

They were eventually rounded up by police and circus workers. Some local residents fed the tame animals.
