Don’t mistake them for escaped convicts in prison suits, but five zebras (yes, you read correctly — zebras) are on the loose in Maryland.

Animal services officials in Prince George’s County said Wednesday that the five zebras escaped more than a week ago from a private farm near Bellefield and Duley Station roads in the Upper Marlboro area.

Florida? We have already had sightings in northern Michigan, and they have destroyed the 2021 apple crop.

Simple. Turn loose five lions or leopards to find the zebras.

Prince George’s County is all black.
Zebras will never make it there.

This is my county, and I’m trying to figure out why someone here would have 39 zebras...
