An impromptu strip show in the company of a … pelican was caught on videotape recently in a marina in the Cypriot resort town of Paphos.

According to the local paper “Politis”, a Russian model “clad” only in her “birthday suit” tried to “collaborate” with “Koko”, the pelican mascot of a nearby restaurant, in a photo-shoot right in the middle of Paphos’ main tourist district.

“Koko”, though, wasn’t a very willing participant, causing the photographer, and the woman’s boyfriend, to try and coax the bird to relax and work with the model.

The entire incident, in fact, took place just across from the harbour police headquarters. When authorities finally arrived, after passersby reported animal cruelty and the inappropriate nature of the public nudie photo spread, the model had dressed and departed.

The video remains, however.
