Zebra along I-70 near Topeka

Zebra along I-70 near Topeka (Kansas Highway Patrol / April 3, 2012)

A strange sight on a Kansas interstate.

It was Tuesday afternoon when drivers noticed an animal standing along the shoulder of I-70 west of Topeka. Not just any animal.

It was a zebra. Not exactly part of the native Kansas wildlife.

Turns out the zebra belongs to a local rancher, and had somehow gotten away.

The rancher came to the scene and used treats to coax the zebra back into his fenced area.
