Watch | Runaway zebra dies in Japan after golf course police chase

A zebra that was on the loose on a Japanese golf course died on Wednesday after it was chased around by a dozen men including police officers and likely drowned after being shot by tranquilizer dart and plunging into a lake. Police say the two-year-old male zebra escaped late Tuesday from a horseback riding club. By Wednesday morning, it had wandered onto a nearby golf course in Gifu Prefecture, with TV news footage showing it zipping from hole to hole. It was shot with a tranquiliser dart, but then ran into a lake. It was rescued within minutes, but its heart had stopped, and attempts to resuscitate it failed, police said.
