Watch zebras play through at a South African golf course

Florida may have its tortoise-chomping goliath gators, but actual zebras visit Washington receiver Andre Roberts during a round of golf in South Africa.

Washington wide receiver Andre Roberts is familiar with zebras, but they’re usually the type who blow whistles on the gridiron -- not actual four-footed striped horses like the ones that wandered through his golf game in South Africa.

Roberts was enjoying a round at Leopard Creek Country Club on the southern border of the Kruger National Park when the threesome of zebras played through. The trio so surprised Roberts that he had trouble describing what he was seeing.

“Ze- ze- zebras on the golf course in #leopardcreek ...zebra had me stuttering out here hahahaha....” Roberts posted on his Instagram account.

Such sightings are rather ho-hum on the Gary Player-designed track, apparently. While some golfers in parts of the United States might be familiar with an alligator meandering on a golf course or maybe even a ram, that pales in comparison to the animals you might encounter at Leopard Creek. Common visitors include crocs, hippos, antelope, buffalo and elephants, according to the club’s website.

Keep your eyes peeled, Andre!
