Man dresses as tiger as Tokyo zoo prepares for the event of an escape

Zookeepers in Tokyo were filmed undertaking an eyebrow-raising drill in preparation for the event of a white tiger escaping its enclosure. 

One worker posed as the escapee animal and was dressed in a tiger hat and white jumper.

He was seen running around on all-fours as his coworkers were trained on how to navigate the tricky situation.

"The team even put up net barriers and used simulated tranquillisers, eventually securing their target with a rope," reporter Lizzie Pearl said on Weekend Today.

"I guess it's important to be ready for anything.

"I'm not sure a real tiger would be that compliant though."
