In an extraordinary sighting that left city residents both astonished and amused, two zebras were spotted roaming along Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo Street in the heart of Bulawayo's City Centre earlier today.
The unusual visitors, far from their natural habitat, created a temporary traffic disruption as motorists slowed down in disbelief to watch the animals navigate the busy streets.
Crowds of onlookers quickly gathered, jostling for the best position to capture photos and videos of the zebras against the backdrop of the urban landscape. The unexpected encounter sparked excitement and curiosity among city dwellers, many of whom described the incident as "unbelievable."
Wildlife authorities were reportedly alerted, though details on how the animals ended up in the city are still unclear. Experts say such urban appearances by wild animals are extremely rare and often result from animals escaping nearby reserves or farms.
While no injuries or accidents were reported, the incident served as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between urban life and wildlife in Zimbabwe.
