Why Did the Ostrich Cross the Road?
Officials at the Golden Gate Bridge can add a new section to their online gallery: photos of the increasingly large and exotic animals crossing the famous suspension bridge between San Francisco and Marin County.
Racoons, squirrels and skunks are regular commuters. Yesterday, it was an ostrich. Seems the big bird fell out of a cargo van, bringing traffic to a screeching halt.
Last fall, Governing reported on a deer (fourth item)that dashed across the Golden Gate Bridge during morning rush hour.
No word on whether any of the critters paid the $5 toll.
