Good morning. The running phenomenon has taken another step toward world domination, having now infiltrated its first festival!

ANSWER

We are told that the animals collectively had 30 eyes, and considering that tigers and peacocks have two eyes each, 30/2 = 15 animals. The extra information was provided as a red herring. Well done if you were all over that!
