Ed the Zebra That Escaped

Postcard from USA

A runaway pet zebra that was on the loose for more than a week in Tennessee and became an internet sensation in the process was captured on June 9, 2025. Ed the Zebra was captured safely after being located in a pasture. Ed was airlifted and flown by helicopter back to a waiting animal trailer. The zebra was spotted and filmed running along Interstate 24, forcing deputies to shut the roadway. But Ed escaped into a wooded area.
There were several sightings posted to social media. Ed was filmed trotting through a neighborhood. The zebra quickly became the subject of internet memes. One fake posting showed Ed dining at a Waffle House, a southern staple. Others had him visiting other Tennessee cities or panhandling on the side of the road.
