VIDEO. This is only possible in Australia. Ostriches ran onto the field during the match
During an Australian Football League match, a curious incident occurred. In the midst of the game, a flock of six emus suddenly appeared on the field, running around chaotically.
This event was confirmed by a video posted by a user on TikTok. According to the Daily Mail, it happened in Western Australia. Typically, when animals appear on the field, referees immediately blow the whistle and pause the match. However, it seems that such occurrences are so commonplace in Australia that the players didn't even stop and continued playing.
The emus ran around the field for a few seconds before leaving the area and disappearing from sight.
The video's creator captioned it:
"Big players from the outback in local football."
The video amused internet users. Some commented that such an incident could only happen in Australia, while others said it was a typical day for the continent.
"A typical Australian Sunday."
There were also users who mocked the AFL, stating that this was the most exciting thing that could happen:
"This is the most interesting thing that can happen in the AFL."
