[quote]It began as the light-hearted and amusing story of the day — an escaped zebra running around a Japanese golf course, out-foxing its would-be captors. But the animal's bid for freedom ended when it drowned in a golf course lake, while ill-equipped rescuers stood and stared. It had escaped from a nearby equestrian centre and was on the run until police received an emergency call. The news of the flight-footed zebra was broadcast on TV channels across the country and aerial footage via helicopter brought updates.[/quote] [quote]After five hours a vet from a nearby town was called in with a tranquiliser gun. After the zebra was hit by the tranquiliser dart, it plunged into a golf course lake. The ill-prepared rescuers did not have the strength to pull the zebra out in time before the animal drowned.[/quote] [url]http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-23/escaped-zebra-runs-amok-in-japanese-golf-course,-drowns/7271992[/url] I don't even...
Ouch, water hazard- that's an automatic penalty, too.
I love what people on social media think, "I think it was a failure of the people chasing, but they don't write that as the cause of death, they just write 'dead'," user Suki Shima said." Why doesn't she try catching a 450kg animal and see how easy it is.

The side that represents the majority is always evil and responsible for whatever accident happened there.
He fought a good fight, died in its own terms.

Tranq must have set in just as it was heading in the water's direction. Slid right in and couldn't do anything to save itself.
Reminds me of my taming in Ark. :v:
Some Golf Courses usually drain their lakes to retrieve those balls. Imagine what that would that be like to see a bloated zebra corpse ontop of a carpet of golf balls.
