It was just supposed to be a silly little remote piece. You know, they take the wacky weatherman, in this case Channel Nine’s Steve Jacobs, and they put him in the zoo and have the handlers show off some of the various animals. Like, for instance, a pelican named Marnie. However, things did not go as planned at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, because Marnie, like most people, is a critic. In response to one too many inaccurate forecasts, Marnie the pelican turned on Jacobs and viciously attacked him, which results in comedy gold.
Now both Steve and Marnie are fine and, presumably, enjoying their new-found fame as viral video stars. Last I heard, Steve was planning on suing Marnie and the Taronga Zoo for sexual harassment. He’s just lucky the bird went after his rear end. She’s a pelican, not a goose!
