Dramatic Helicopter Rescue: Runaway Zebra Captured After Week-Long Chase

Runaway Zebra Captured in Tennessee After Week-Long Chase A zebra's incredible week-long escape in Tennessee came to an end recently when it was captured and safely removed from a busy area. The animal, known only as 'Ed', had evaded capture for over seven days, navigating busy highways and city streets. Local authorities were concerned about the zebra's safety and the potential danger it posed to drivers. "It was quite a challenge," said a spokesperson for the animal rescue team involved in the operation. "Ed was very fast and agile, making it difficult to corner him." The decision was eventually made to tranquilize Ed from a helicopter. The video shows the zebra being carefully lowered into a waiting truck. The operation was successful, and Ed was reported to be in good health after the incident. The quick thinking and cooperation of multiple agencies ensured a safe resolution to this unique situation. The zebra's story serves as a reminder of the unexpected challenges faced by wildlife and the importance of swift and effective responses from rescue teams.
