An East African crowned crane that escaped from a Washington state zoo was found days after being on the lam, strolling on the town streets, and hanging with a group of "blue herons," officials said.
Cougar Mountain Zoo officials documented "Alice's" adventures out in Wonderland, Washington, on social media, dubbing their missing wildlife "curious."
Alice made her way outside the zoo grounds on May 21 and was last seen at Lake Sammamish State Park. That day, zoo officials posted: "Our team has eyes on her at Lake Sammamish State Park. If you see her, do not approach."
Concerned spotters called the zoo's dedicated phone line to report animal sightings. She was seen strolling on neighborhood streets near Issaquah, Washington. The next day, it was reported that the crane flew east and was last sighted on the southeast shore of the Lake Sammamish State Park, then flew in the direction of the boat launch.
