'We Named Him Raul, They Say He's Puerto Rican': Peacock Escapes Zoo And Wreaks Havoc Through New York (Video)

When we say the word "peacock", what is the first word that you think of? Probably "majestic" or "beautiful" or "regal", right? We doubt that the first words that come to your mind are "jerk", "chaotic" or "mildly terrifying". But… over our time writing here, we have come to the conclusion that that's what they are. Of course, they are still beautiful and majestic, but apparently, peacocks also like breaking into residential areas and wreaking havoc, and peacocks also like running around and scaring people, and some peacocks like playing with cats. Don't know why that last one is relevant right now, but we felt like you needed to know. 

The peacock in this story… is one of those. Of the troublemakers. His name is Raul, and he might be Puerto Rican, we're not sure. All that we know is that he escaped the zoo, caused a bunch of chaos around New York and then… fine, we won't spoil it, but we promise that the ending of this video will make you snort with hilarious confusion.
