Goats Seen on the Loose at Cedar Point Amusement Park After Similar Incident with Camels

Goats were seen wandering freely at Cedar Point days after another incident happened with two camels

These goats were literally thinking outside of the box with their recent stroll.

On Saturday, June 15, at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, dozens of goats were seen on the loose. This incident comes days after two camels were meandering outside of their designated pens.

In a TikTok video captured by Alyssa Werner, the goats can be seen wandering around, passing by the visitors and trying to stay together like a herd.

At one point, they come together and follow a man as he walks down the central path. Meanwhile, the alpacas look on from their designated pen as the goats run freely.

Some guests tried to pet the goats, while others took out their phones to capture the unusual moment of the goats strolling the Frontier Trail’s public path.

"On Saturday, several goats from The Barnyard (the park’s petting zoo) were observed walking outside of their enclosure on the Frontier Trail section of the park," Tony Clark, Cedar Point's director of communications, told PEOPLE in a statement.

"We have been in contact with Honey Hill Farm, the family-operated farm which operates and staffs The Barnyard, to discuss the incident and the actions that are being taken, including 24-hour surveillance of the area, to ensure the security and well-being of the animals," the statement added.

This isn't the first time animals got loose from their enclosures at the Ohio park. On Tuesday, June 11, two camels were seen wandering Cedar Point in viral videos of the incident.

  • Bornean elephants endangered due to human activity

    STORY: Elephants living on the South Asian island of Borneo have become endangered.And human activities such as agriculture, mining, and logging are to blame.That’s according to a recent assessment by wildlife&nbsp;experts.The International Union for Conservation of Nature says there are around 1,000 Bornean elephants left in the wild.Craig Hilton-Taylor heads the IUCN Red List Unit, which assesses animal species' risk of extinction. "A thousand individuals, of which only 400 are mature. Those are the breeding individuals. It's a small population, and it could easily disappear if we just let development happen without any conservation actions.”The IUCN says the number of Bornean elephants has decreased over the last 75 years - initially due to extensive logging.The animals have since entered human-dominated areas, searching for food.That in turn can cause them to destroy crops and face retribution killing.Malaysian and Indonesian authorities are working on conservation action plans to help the species cope with human development.The plans will require extensive coordination with corporations, private landowners and conservationists.
