At about 7:10 a..m. this morning, Lisa, a San Francisco Zoo zebra died. Named Lisa, the zebra was born in February of 1998. (An Aquarian? An even greater loss.) According to a spokesperson at SF Zoo, "reports of [Lisa] salivating while on exhibit in the African Savanna led to an examination by the Zoo veterinarian. The zebra was placed in her indoor stall in the Hoofstock Barn and treated with a common equine medication."
And then? She died. Sad.
Although we've never seen an actual zebra, we've always admired the creature's ability to pull off high-contrast looks. Sigh. RIP, Lisa.

First the elephants, then the tiger incident, now the zebra... Can we please just close the zoo already?
it's the second coming of christ, i tells ya! the animals know.
Maybe too much vodka with the Brothers Dhaliwal?
Mr. BURNS:
This is a thousand monkeys working at a thousand typewriters. Soon, they'll have written the greatest novel known to mankind. (reads one of the typewriters) "It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times"?! you stupid monkey!
End of days indeed Brock....
How many animals have to die before they shut the zoo down? It is a joke and a disgrace.
Don't forget the two elephants that died back in 2004, and the recent near-escapes of the snow leopard and feral polar bear. What an embarrassment. Our zoo is giving the SFPD a run for its money for the title of most dysfunctional city entity.
