The Blount County Sheriff’s Office is investigating reports of at least three Zebra bites in the county.  Two females in the Seymour area were reportedly bitten Tuesday and went to the hospital, the sheriff’s office said, but it was not known if the third person received medical treatment. The Sheriff’s department indicated that those cases will be reported to the county health department.

The Deputies with sheriff’s office said they were unaware of any state laws regarding privately owned exotic animals.
