An ostrich was spotted sprinting across busy streets in southern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Zhongshan in Guangdong Province on June 13.

According to reports, the ostrich was cornered by traffic police in a factory after it had run through two townships.

On the morning of June 13, staff from the Torch Development Zone team of the Zhongshan Traffic Police Detachment responded that the ostrich had escaped from a nearby farm. It has now been captured and returned to its owner.

It was found out that the ostrich is a farm-bred bird, kept for viewing. It is usually housed near a fishpond by Yuchong West Street in a local community, enclosed within a wire fence.

Due to a door that was not properly secured, the ostrich seized the opportunity to make its daring escape.

6月13日早高峰时段，一只鸵鸟在广东中山市交通要道中山港大桥上一路奔跑，过往司机纷纷避让。
据了解，在穿越了两个镇区后，鸵鸟被交警围到了一个工厂当中。6月13日上午，中山市交警支队火炬开发区大队工作人员回应称，鸵鸟是从一处农庄跑出来的，目前已被抓到，他们已将驼鸟交由其主人带回农庄。
经了解，该鸵鸟是饲养品种，供观赏。日常饲养在民众街道涌口西街附近鱼塘，本来使用铁丝网围住，因门没关好，鸵鸟趁机逃跑。
