Fierce Fox Finishes Fifteen Finnish Flamingos

Come on, flamingos! If a tiny little vole can fight off a big coyote, and four chickens (chickens!) can kill a canine invader, surely fifteen of you should be able to defend your own turf. But apparently not. “The paw marks are very clear-it was a wild fox,” said Jukka Salo, director of Finland’s Helsinki Zoo, where an entire flock of fifteen pink flamingos were slaughtered after the hungry animal climbed over the fence earlier this week. “When it got in, it acted just as if it were in a hen house, killing and creating mayhem.”

The video above explains something, I guess: These gawky birds do seem to suck at fighting.
