Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Five large African antelopes called "elands" are safely back in custody in Jackson, NJ -- after briefly escaping from the Six Flags Great Adventure theme park. Local residents spotted the animals roaming their neighborhood.

I didn't know an antelope could get that large. I bet your car would be ruined if you hit one of those.

This use to happen all the time at the Toledo Zoo (about 20 years ago) before they put up perimeter fences. It wasn't uncommon for residents to see the elephant waltzing down the street with keepers following. Of course this was a long time ago. Incidents still happen like at Binder Park Zoo where three wolves escaped back in January.

Car? What car? You would probably be dead if you hit one of those beasts.

You'd also most likely be driving in Africa.

Ever seen a car after hitting a deer? Ever been in a car while hitting a deer? There would be a very similar outcome. It sucks...

I was talking about the antelopes that escaped, so you would actually be in New Jersey, or New York, if they figured out how to use the subways.

Especially for the deer.
