Zebras in Dresden

[dieastra]

On Monday in Dresden - four Zebras escaped from a circus and were running right through the inner city.

Wow, not something you see every day! It's a shame one died, but at least it was only one.

Yeah, I wonder if it soon would have died anyway if it had a weak heart. Poor thing.
Definitely not something you see every day!
In the comments I also posted the link to the moose that happened to stroll into an office many years ago:

Wow! We've had a wallaroo in our backyard, and had to save a wallaby from the neighbors pool, but moose and zebras are a little bit bigger and more impressive than that XD

Yeah definitely!
Aw the wallaroo sounds cute though! Did you take a picture? I love them hopping around.

We also have wolves now in Germany. They had been extinct but they made a program getting new ones, and the population is growing. They are not allowed to be hunted but there are problems with them getting to sheep farmers and killing all those sheep, even if they are fenced in. They get money for the killed sheep from the government but it seems to spread more and more.

No, we were more concerned with getting it out of the yard, plus it was too dark anyway.

I wish we'd taken a photo of the one that ended up in the neighbours pool though!

It's good to see they are reintroducing wolves to different areas now, I wish they could/would do that with dingoes here in Aus.
