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

Bolivia is unique, it has two capitals, and La Paz 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 Paz are dangerous, but then, in the chaos, there

is a zebra.

The zebra is holding up a ratting green paddle sign, and one side of the paddle it says,

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

The zebra walks up to a woman waiting to cross the street and tucks her paddle between

their arm.

Suddenly, the car's all stopped.

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

In La Paz, this is the 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 Paz Bolivia to meet La Sabrita de La Paz.

The zebra's will keep the streets of La Paz safe for its citizens, after this.

My name is Jenny Bellis.
