Atlanta's loose zebra examined at UGA's vet clinic

Posted: Updated:

ATLANTA (AP) - The zebra that created a stir in Atlanta when he broke loose from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus area late Thursday afternoon is at UGA's College of Veterinary Medicine and is fine.

Circus spokeswoman Crystal Drake says several vets examined Lima on Thursday, and he was taken to UGA on Friday for a full, comprehensive exam. Authorities found his hooves were damaged from running along the pavement, but officials say he's fine otherwise.

The zebra drew double takes when he led an epic sprint through downtown Atlanta Thursday, bolting through streets for 40 minutes before authorities captured him safely along Interstate 75.
