Boris Johnson got a shock when an ostrich attacked him on a day out with his family. Hilarious video shows the former prime minister and one of his children admiring the large, flightless bird from the apparent safety of a car.

The feathered giant can be seen striding up to the vehicle as Mr Johnson and the youngster look on with the driver's side window wide open. Mr Johnson appears to describe the ostrich as being "very naughty" as the creature gets closer and closer. Then as it peers into the car, the bird lashes out with a sharp peck at the ex-PM, to which a shocked Mr Johnson cries out in front of his giggling child: "Christ! F****** hell!"

He's in a left-hand drive car, so it's not the UK. Where is this?

Hmm. Apparently Texas.

Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson received a memorable welcome from an ostrich at a state park in Texas when the towering two-legged bird gave him a peck, according to a video Sunday.

It is not clear which wildlife park they were visiting, but other posts on the same account show the family visiting Dinosaur Valley Park, about 80 miles (128 kilometers) southwest of Dallas.
