A 12-year-old Zebra named Lima carried out a daring escape from the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Atlanta this afternoon during rush hour. The crafty zebra led its trainers and police on a 40-minute chase through downtown Atlanta and onto the interstate highway, clearly counting on rush hour traffic to aid in his getaway.

Witness Daniel Nance told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

All of a sudden a freaking zebra comes running down the street like a car. Five or six police cars were in hot pursuit. And a bunch of officers on foot.

Officers were able to block off the interstate lanes and finally capture Lima.

Circus spokeswoman Crystal Drake said:

It wasn’t on the highway very long. But it was an inconvenient time for this to happen because the downtown connector southbound usually gets backed up on its own, that time of day.

Inconvenient? Few things in life are as soul-sucking than getting stuck in traffic.
