The search for the fourth and final missing zebra is over.
“Shug,” the zebra, garnered national attention for eluding authorities for five days before being safely rescued just before 8 p.m.May 3 by private citizens and control officers from Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC).
The four zebras escaped their owner’s trailer near exit 32 on eastbound I-90 on April 28 in North Bend. Three were corralled within hours, but Shug continued to roam.
“The zebra seemed to be in good condition despite her nearly week-long adventure in the woods,” a RASKC spokesperson wrote.
Shug will be transported to Anaconda, Montana, where the animals were headed before their escape, and will be reunited with its three black-and-white striped friends in the coming days, according to RASKC.
RASKC plans to release more details of the rescue shortly.
