The news report that was spread this morning was nothing more than an unsuccessful joke.

The Yerevan Zoo reports as follows: “A citizen, whose identity is currently being determined by law enforcement, had painted his donkey with stripes [like a zebra] and taken it to Myasnikyan Avenue [across Yerevan Zoo] to shoot a video. I inform that the zebras of the [Yerevan] Zoo are safe and in their free enclosure.”
