    I guess it’s a classic case of practice doesn’t make perfect, considering Japanese zoo officials had trained for a zebra escape just last month. Seriously, check it out HERE, this one has to be seen to be believed.

    If we’re being perfectly accurate this zebra actually escaped from a horse-riding club, with the hours-long pursuit being broadcast on national TV as millions watched on. Despite the best efforts of those trying to capture the animal it didn’t end well as CNN reports:

    …unable to corral it, veterinarians shot the two-year old animal with tranquilizer darts. Shortly after that, the zebra ran into a pond, where it met a tragic end. The cause of death is unclear…but it likely drowned.
    “It collapsed in the pond, so we hurriedly pulled it ashore, but its heart had already stopped beating,” Takahiro Taniguchi, a police spokesman, said…
    “Veterinarians performed cardiac massage,” he added, but were unable to save the animal.

    As you can imagine Twitter had a field day, the Japanese word for ‘zebra’ trending. This sighting also caused a flurry on social media:

    Back in January it was a puddle, this time an escaped zebra – we really do have interesting taste in entertainment.
