The pair, now safe and sound, were part of a trio that in late August got away from a large farm owned by Jerry Holly in Upper Marlboro, authorities said. One of the zebras died soon after the escape when it got caught in an illegal snare trap on a property near Holly’s farm.

CoinMarketCap squashed the dreams of crypto investors around on Tuesday when it explained in a tweet that the shocking jump in price of a variety of cryptocurrencies was due to “price issues” and wasn’t real. It’s currently unclear whether this was a security incident or simply a glitch.

It appears as though the price of every coin jumped by several orders of magnitude, with the price of a single Ethereum coin, for example, rising to more than $500 billion (Real price: Around $3,800.) Bitcoin, meanwhile, jumped to around $789 billion. That put Bitcoin’s market cap at somewhere between a quadrillion dollars and the Moon, making everyone triollonary!
