Summary:
ORLANDO, FL – A group of zebras at Animal Kingdom Lodge managed to leap over the fence of their enclosure. The video shows the striped escape artists breaking free, clearing what many believe to be an electrified barrier, before realizing they had no idea how to get back inside. While the zebras escaped their designated area, they apparently never shared the same space as the visitors. Disney has not released specifics about how the zebras were guided back, but the animals were eventually safely contained in their original enclosure.
