Lima, a 12-year-old circus zebra that ran through downtown Atlanta last month, has been euthanized, according to a statement on Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey’s Web site.

A zebra from the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus escaped his handler and led police on a chase through downtown Atlanta Thursday afternoon. The black-and-white striped animal was spotted all over town — in the parking lot near the Sam Nunn Federal Building, near Centennial Olympic Park,CNN and on the Downtown Connector.
