After being on the loose for three hours, a zebra has been returned to its home at a zoo in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
On Thursday afternoon, the male zebra, whose Korean name means "vertical," broke free from Seoul Children's Grand Park Zoo.
In an effort to secure his capture, staff at the zoo, the police, and firefighters were all involved. The animal was captured in online videos galloping past cars on a busy road.
In a residential area close to the location of his escape in the east of the city, Sero was also observed wandering down a street and peering into garbage cans.

According to the Seoul Gwangjin Fire Station, the young zebra, who was born at the zoo in 2021, was able to break the wooden fencing around his pen and escape.
Sero was in the end caught by authorities utilizing a security wall after he entered a limited rear entryway. Before being transported back to the zoo in the back of a truck, he was put to sleep.
An authority at the Kids' Excellent Park Zoo let the Related Press know that the zebra has been evaluated by vets and is in a steady condition.
The zoo has more than 400 animals from 38 different species, including Korean dogs, monkeys, and donkeys, according to its website.
