LIVE report (from last month)
:)


Zebras
They are (or were) apparently roaming around free in Prince George’s County, Maryland, USA
The Zebras, as many as 6, had escaped from a private farm last week at the corner of Bellefield and Duley Station Roads in Upper Marlboro.
Prince George’s County Animal Control is said to be setting up a feeding station in an attempt to corral the zebras safely.

Several additional sightings have been reported today in Upper Marlboro.
So far the animals appear to be just roaming around and enjoying their freedom in Prince George’s County.

Congresswoman Eleanor Norton of Washington, D.C., has jokingly denied releasing the zebras found wandering around the district's neighborhoods.
