Sero the zebra is back in his pen in a "stable condition, healthy and sound," an official at the Seoul Children's Grand Park said, after the animal spent three hours Thursday trotting along roads and dodging cars before he was finally cornered by park wardens.
Sero, aged 3, was tranquilised and caught using a safety fence after he entered a narrow alleyway, before being returned to the zoo.
