Local TV news is often full of entertaining moments and mishaps, from a 14-way box on Atlanta’s snowmageddon to the L.A. anchor who crashed riding an electric scooter, but this one from reporter Jobeth Devera of Hawaiian stations KGMB and KHNL (CBS and NBC affiliates respectively) is something else.

Devara’s reaction is great, too, especially considering that this was a filmed segment rather than a live one (as evidenced by her #thankgotwewerentlive hashtag).

It’s a funny moment, and it shows some of the challenges of doing a segment with animals in the shot. That’s something for other reporters to perhaps be wary of in the future.
