The zebra was one of four that escaped as they were being transported from Washington to Montana last Sunday.
last weekend remained on the run on Friday, as authorities closed off trailheads at a nature area in hopes of keeping people away and easing her capture.
The driver had taken the Interstate 90 exit for North Bend, in the Cascade mountain foothills about 48 kilometres east of Seattle, to secure the trailer, when the zebras got loose, surprising residents and drivers as they galloped into a rural neighborhood.Three were quickly captured after being corralled in a pasture.
There have been several more realistic sightings, most recently on Thursday, according to Regional Animal Services of King County. People trying to come out to see the zebra may be spooking it and making it harder to recapture the animal, they said."We're hoping that by closing the trail and getting people out of that area, maybe that will help us do a successful capture," said animal services spokesman Cameron Satterfield.
