However, waiting just on the other side of the fence was a pack of big cats sitting on the ground who caught the action above their heads and their instincts kicked in once the winged performer broke free.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<p>At one point, the pack of cheetahs locked in and set off chasing the bird who had swooped much too close to the ground before flying higher in an attempt to get away. The video then ends.<\/p>\n<p>The bird was apparently the newest member of show birds at the zoo where it had been undergoing training for its appearance in an upcoming \u201cWinged Wonders Bird Show\u201d when something clearly went wrong, KSEE reported.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The pack of cheetahs heard the flapping in the trees and their instincts kicked in.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In a statement to the outlet, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo confirmed that the bird, a Roseate spoonbill, was able to escape, but was injured in the accident.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said the bird had \u201cveered off course during free-flight training\u201d and ended up above the cheetah enclosure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStaff responded to the enclosure and retrieved the bird. It received treatment for a small laceration from the incident and has since returned to the Bird Show team,\u201d according to the zoo.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The predators set off after the bird who did not have much of a chance at escape given their speed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAll animals continue to be monitored for any changes in health by our Animal Care and Veterinary Teams,\u201d Gia Krupens with Fresno Chaffee Zoo said.<\/p>\n<p>The African cheetahs were also evaluated and have returned to their habitat in the zoo\u2019s African Adventure exhibit. <\/p>\n<p>The 13-acre expansion opened in 2015 and features African elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos. According to the zoo map, the cheetah enclosure is located fairly close to the arena where the popular bird show takes place and where the bird was undergoing training.<\/p>\n<p>The African cheetah is typically about 4 feet in length and incredibly fast, capable of reaching 70 miles per hour to catch their prey. While the Roseate spoonbill it\u2019s not nearly as fast, and only capable of reaching a top speed of 31 miles per hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The zoo confirmed the bird was injured but is recovering. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s probably fair to say, the bird is clearly lucky to be alive. It is unclear after this wild animal encounter, if the zoo plans to make any changes.<\/p>\n<p>The California Post reached out to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo for further comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The front view of the Fresno Chaffee Zoo where the incredible video was taken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
