Experts said they’re likely doing just fine, munching on grass and staying away from loud noises, highways and humans.
And they’re probably steering clear of loud noises, highways and humans because they’ll be scared, the experts said.
Experts said the zebras are probably sticking fairly close to the edges of their home — an 80-acre farm off Duley Station Road in Upper Marlboro — and roaming in large green spaces.The zebras escaped Aug. 31 from their farm, where they were part of a herd of about 30 other zebras, according to officials with the Prince George’s County animal control agency.Since then, the public has reported several sightings.
Experts said that because of their fight-or-flight response, if cornered, they’ll try to run; and if scared, they will — as a last resort — bite or kick. Zebras get a “huge adrenaline rush” when they’re hit with the dart of a tranquilizer, and it can take as long as 15 minutes for them to become immobilized, according to Vanessa Roer, chief executive ofAs they’re going down, they could have a burst of adrenaline and take off running toward a human, building or road. Plus, getting the dosage right for a zebra when experts haven’t examined it up close for its weight would be tough.
