Injured Zebra Found Wandering On Highway

Zebra, Named Evidence, Finds Permanent Home At Rehab Center

UPDATED: 12:18 pm CDT April 11, 2008

Atlanta-area motorists see a lot of things along I-75, but this was a horse of a different color.

Actually it wasn't a horse at all, but a baby zebra, reported WSB-TV in Atlanta.

Tuesday morning commuters reported the animal was grazing next to the interstate in Henry County.

When would-be rescuers from the Department of Natural Resources got to the scene, they realized they'd need help and called in the folks from Noah's Ark, an animal rehabilitation center in Locust Grove, Ga.

Staffers retrieved the zebra and dubbed him Evidence. That's what police officers on the scene were calling him, and the name stuck.

Noah's Ark staffers said that, from his injuries, it appears Evidence fell from a truck or trailer and then was hit by another vehicle. Noah's Ark veterinarian Dr. Karen Thomas checked out Evidence and found extensive injuries.

"There were more than 50 wounds on his body, including two knocked out teeth," officials at Noah's Ark said in a news release.

Realizing the zebra needed emergency care, he was rushed to the veterinary school at Auburn University. Doctors there discovered Evidence suffered a crushed pelvis and other internal injuries.

Auburn doctors performed surgery, and Evidence is expected to recover and will have a permanent home at Noah's Ark.
