This Zookeeper May Be The Best Actor Of Our Generation

UPI- A Japanese zoo held an escaped animal training drill featuring a costumed performer mimicking the behavior of a fugitive white tiger.

The Tobu Zoo in Miyashiro Town, Saitama Prefecture, held its annual training drill Thursday with a zookeeper putting his tiger expertise to the test by pretending to be an escaped animal.

The zoo's team put up net barriers and used simulated tranquilizers to subdue their colleague before securing him with rope and returning him to a secure area.

"In the event of an emergency, it is important for each person to understand their role and respond accordingly," Kaminaga told NHK.

I don't know about you but I was sold. I was fully convinced this guy was a tiger. Get him an Oscar. 

Seriously, I respect that this is a procedure that had to be done, and you have to give credit to the guy for volunteering to do it, but you can also admit the entire thing is laugh out loud funny. I thought him behind the rock was enough, but when he got fake shot and then on the net type thing is when I lost it, talk about commitment. 

I do wonder if each year this is the guy they use every time for this exercise, or is he so good he travels to different zoos as "the animal" they are hunting? Is he Santa Claus at the Christmas Party? Is he in all the awkward HR training videos? What's the limit for this guy because I say there is none. Modern day Deniro ... 137 Oscar nominations coming.
