Zebras Spotted in Maryland Backyard

I know what you're saying- zebras aren't spotted, they are striped. But tell that to Layla Curling, who looked out the window Tuesday to see a zebra in her backyard in Prince George's County, Maryland. By the time she alerted her mother, there were three zebras in their yard. So Mom got on the phone. ​

“I called 311 and she thought I was crazy, she thought I was crazy. She paused for a long minute. I said, 'Ma’am, I am not drinking. I have not had any drugs. I have zebras in my backyard walking on the train tracks. I just wanted to know what service could come out because I didn’t want them to get hit and she paused for a long time and then said, 'OK, here's the number," Layla's mother, Alexis Reed Curling, said.

Animal control officers were able to round up the zebras and corral them in a field. They had escaped from a private farm, and the owners have been notified.
