This photo provided by the Regional Animal Services of King County shows the zebra Shug in a trailer after it was captured Friday, May 3, 2024, in Riverbend, Wash., about 30 miles east of Seattle . The zebra was one of four that escaped as they were being transported from Washington to Montana last Sunday. This image provided by the Washington State Patrol shows zebras that got loose Sunday, April 28, 2024, when the driver stopped at the Interstate 90 exit to North Bend, Wash.
“The zebra seemed to be in good condition despite her nearly week-long adventure in the woods,” the agency wrote. Three were quickly captured after being corralled in a pasture. But the fourth — a mare who was initially dubbed “Z” — hopped a fence and disappeared. Shug’s adventure quickly captured public attention, spawning social media memes that placed the animal everywhere from riding a ferry across Puget Sound to rounding the bases at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners.
Earlier Friday, King County officials closed off trail access points along the Snoqualmie Valley Trail in the Boxley Creek Natural Area, where the zebra seemed to be frequenting. People trying to see the zebra there may have been spooking it, making it harder to recapture, they said. Feeding zones were set up to help coax the animal out for a rescue.
