Ostrich got some swagger

This video captures an ostrich in a once thriving drive-through zoo called Six Flags Wild Safari in New Jersey. Animals of all sorts could be observed here. The ostrich in the video seemed to be strutting her stuff (or his, I have no idea) as she walks down the road in between the cars. This was all observed while moving about in our own cages (which we call cars).
The drive through zoo stopped allowing cars back in 2012 and now have controlled guided tours on an "off road" truck under what is called "Six Flags Great Adventure and Safari." Now in 2018, the zoo boasts 1,200 animals from 6 continents including elephants, rhinos, tigers, giraffes and lions. I would guess that the new Safari Off Road Adventure is a safer method of observation. Animals can be unpredictable and adding unpredictable humans into the mix could be a recipe for disaster. This footage is from a Sony 8mm video camera recorded in August 1994.
Antiquated by today's standards so it is probably not what people are used to seeing these days with HD resolution and such. But it is still good enough to see and remember the trip and the great animals.
