Runaway Pet Zebra Airlifted to Safety After Week-Long Tennessee Adventure
Ed, a pet zebra, escaped in Tennessee, leading to a week-long adventure that included galloping along Interstate 24, causing traffic disruptions, and evading capture. Authorities finally located him in a pasture near Christiana, where aviation crews airlifted him to safety.
During his escapade, Ed became an internet sensation, with videos of him trotting through neighborhoods and humorous memes depicting him dining at local eateries. His antics captivated the online community, blending wildlife with suburban life.
