LEESBURG, Va. (AP) — Two zebras from a zoo in a Washington, D.C., suburb escaped and briefly wandered through a residential neighborhood before being captured.
No one was injured.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office says it received calls Monday afternoon from residents of the Leesburg-area neighborhood reporting zebras on the loose.
Sheriff’s deputies worked to keep the animals safe from traffic until control officers could safely capture them using tranquilizers.
