University of Sydney students in Newtown, Australia experienced something sort of strange this morning, when two water buffaloes escaped from a film set and ran down King Street.

Along the way, a cowboy tried to lasso them, and they trampled the Vice Principal’s azeleas. Meanwhile, a jeep complete with film equipment followed the buffaloes, capturing the entire scene.

Fire station commander Brad Black said, “I’m used to dealing with all sort of bull … so just another day in the job of a firefighter in Newtown.”
