A zoo in Hitachi, Japan held an emergency drill this week to practice what to do if an earthquake freed an Asian black bear. Around 40 people from the Hitachi City Kamine Zoo, local police, fire station, and the city’s pest damage prevention team took part in the drill; of course, they couldn’t use a live bear, so they put a guy in a less-than-realistic bear suit.

The drill assumed that a catastrophic earthquake had broken a glass window in the bear enclosure; the employee in the bear suit was driven into a corner by the responders using nets and vehicles, then shot with a tranquilizer gun. Once they confirmed that the fake bear wasn’t moving, they returned it to its enclosure.
