Ed the Zebra, who escaped in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, captured public attention as he roamed free for over a week. His journey concluded on Sunday when he was airlifted back to safety after being located in a pasture. The chase began when Ed's owner reported him missing, leading to multiple sightings, including running on Interstate 24, which prompted road closures. His antics inspired an array of humorous internet memes, including a fake post of him dining at Waffle House, making the zebra a beloved figure during his escapade.
Video posted by the sheriff's office shows Ed wrapped in a net with his head sticking out as he is carried by the helicopter to the trailer.
Ed was spotted and filmed running along Interstate 24, forcing deputies to shut the roadway.
The zebra quickly became the subject of internet memes, with one post showing him dining at a Waffle House.
The pursuit of Ed came a month after a runaway kangaroo shut down a section of Alabama interstate.
