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.
