An ostrich hampered rescue efforts by Chinese police who were attempting to rescue two people trapped on top of a flooded lorry.
In the video, captured in Huaihua City in China's southern Hunan Province on May 30, a runaway ostrich submerged in water walks up to the police officers who had just helped two trapped people come down from the lorry and were trying to help them to the side of the road.
A policeman splashes water to the ostrich while another uses an umbrella to drive it away.
According to reports, the ostrich came from a nearby mountain villa and has already been taken back in by its owner.
