It's morning, this is the San Olapas Bolivia.

Bolivia is unique, it has two capitals, and La Pasa is one of them, so it's a very

busy city, especially in the morning.

The traffic lights are blinking red and green, but a lot of drivers just ignore the lights

and ignore the traffic signs.

The intersections are packed, meanwhile their mothers walk into kids' school, lenders setting

up their tents along the curb, and crowds of people on their way to work.

For these pedestrians, the streets of La Pasa are dangerous, but then, in the chaos, there's

Zebra.

Zebra's holding up a ratting green paddle sign, on one side of the paddle it says, body,

stop in Spanish, and on the other side it says, gracias, thank you.

Zebra walks up to a woman waiting to cross the street, and tucks her paddle between

their arm.

Suddenly, the cars all stop.

Zebra takes the woman's hand, and safely guides her across the street.

In La Pasa, this is Zebra's job.

Amano Lomarales, and this is Atlas Obscura, a deli celebration of the world's strange,

incredible and wondrous places.

Today, we're heading to La Pasa Bolivia to meet La Sabrita de La Pasa, the zebras who

keep the streets of La Pasa safe for its citizens.

After this.

My name is Jenny Bellis.
