As of Friday, the zebra is still on the loose, according to another post from the sheriff’s office.
The zebra was spotted in a field near Christiana through a drone camera Friday morning.
Deputies are tracking the zebra with the drone and the owner has been notified.
The owner did tell the sheriff’s office that people and cameras may scare the zebra and potentially make securing the zebra more difficult.
“We don’t want to scare the zebra,” Sheriff’s Cpl. Sean White said. “We need time to get him to calm down.”
The sheriff’s office requested help from a veterinarian to respond to rescue the zebra.
