WATCH: A zebra and a pony prance through Staten Island

A black and white striped beast and his miniature create companion were caught on camera running down Victory Boulevard in Staten Island this morning.

The zebra in question, named Razzi, and his pony pal, named Casper, escaped from a home near the corner of Victory Boulevard and Travis Avenue at around 9 A.M. this morning but were first spotted in a shopping center nearby.

“I was looking out my window when I saw a zebra and the pony run by so I grabbed my phone,” said Zachary Osher who watched the whole event unfold.

After Osher got outside he followed the zebra and pony around the corner of the shopping center whereupon they headed into the street and narrowly avoided an oncoming car.

A little while later the animals were corralled at a Staten Island Parks Department facility.
