    Video: Woman ok after bite from zebra during Texas safari visit

    The hungry zebra moves in for a snack

    In this video, a young woman named Megan is bitten by a zebra while on a visit to a Texas wildlife safari.

    Obviously caught off guard, Megan screams and appears very upset over the attack. Thankfully, Megan doesn't appear seriously injured and can even be seen laughing during the final seconds of the video. Zebras are herbivores, so it appears that the Zebra was going for Megan's potato chips, not Megan herself. Still it's a good reminder that you shouldn't leave your windows open while on a wildlife safari, particularly not when you're looking away from the window and eating food.

    Though it hasn't been officially confirmed, the video appears to have been taken at the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch in San Antonio, Texas. Their homepage even features a zebra bearing its teeth with a park gift card wedged between its jaws. Of course, it's all done in jest:

    Another YouTube had a far less traumatizing experience at the ranch, even mocking the behavior of the zebras in her video:

      When you go to the park the first thing they tell you is the zebras are dangerous; they bite and they kick. Don't feed them, don't roll your window down. Evidently she thought she knew better than the people who run the place.

      Their homepage even features a zebra bearing its teeth with a park gift card wedged between its jaws.The author of this article is a #$%$ The zebra on the homepage is BARING its teeth, not BEARING. How in the world did such an idiot get a job as a reporter?

        Yeah, it's a shame, but spell-check doesn't work on stupid...
    • Use Yer Heads  •  Los Angeles, California  •  4 mths ago
      Yeah, hold food just out of reach of a wild animal, nothing will happen, the critter will just walk away. Stupid is as stupid does. Can you tell which species is smarter?
      • Cody 4 mths ago
        Some can smell it.. Also its a little hard to hide a cup of kibble with no lid in a car..
        That's what we were given when i went.

      Stupid way to act when you've got a wild animal up next to your face.
    • Coca Cola  •  San Antonio, Texas  •  4 mths ago
      I have been to that park numerous times. It about 20 mins from our house. I hope that Megan will have learned her lesson and is more aware around wild animals going forward. Hopefully she is not listening to the punk in the back who sounds like he has a lawyer on speed dial. Megan was stupid and now she is globally humiliated. Hopefully she'll learn.
      • A Yahoo! User 4 mths ago
        I hope she just stays away from them. The animals will be much better off if she does.
    • Cat  •  4 mths ago
      why was she looking into the camera rather than watching the Zebra. She deserved it.
    • Witness  •  4 mths ago
      She was holding food and the Zebra was trying to get the food. He did not attack viciously. The girl is an idiot. Stupid idiot.

      Zebra recovering from trauma, and in talks with publishing house on book deal.
      • Scáthach 4 mths ago
        He should hold out for a really good supply of potato chips added to the cash deal
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Prescott, Arizona  •  4 mths ago
      actually, this woman's screeching and wailing in "slow motion" is more horrifying than the nip. She was the one that caused it by not rolling up her window, waving food around in her hand, and not paying attention to the zebra breathing on her elbow. He just nipped her. If he'd WANTED to hurt her, she would be seriously injured. *sigh* Gotta love irresponsible idiots who set up the disaster and then blame everyone else.

      Dawin @ his best. Don't feed the wild animals. Go to a petting zoo if your so inclined.
    • us2b  •  4 mths ago
      Why were the car windows open?
    • LionBraweler  •  4 mths ago
      You've got yourself a hickey from a zebra.
    •    •  4 mths ago
      Pretty pathetic that the title of her video calls it an "attack." If that zebra were to really attack her, she'd be nothing but a pile of gnawed-on body parts.

      The stupidity of people continues to amaze me. Open window at a wildlife sanctuary???!!! DUH...
