Drivers in Germany had to take the Highway Code literally when they were forced to stop at a zebra crossing.
The animal had escaped from a circus and galloped around the city of Bitburg chased by police officers.
But baffled cops briefly lost the scent of the animal when it disappeared from view.
It took them several seconds to realise that the zebra was right in front of them, camouflaged against the white markings on the road.
The animal then waited patiently until its keeper arrived to take it back to the Big Top.
