Summary:

Three of the zebras who had previously escaped in June 2007 from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus broke free from their temporary tour enclosure in Baltimore, MD. The animals wandered briefly into traffic lanes before being corralled and returned to the sidewalk. A circus veterinary technician described it as “a scary moment.”
