Law enforcement captures runaway zebra via helicopter flight. - Authorities have taken to the skies in a helicopter to apprehend a zebra.

It's time to strap on your adventure helmets, folks! Here's a wild story about a helping of helicopter heroics down in Tennessee. A zebra named Ed decided to take a walk about a week ago, leaving his peeps in a lurch. But fear not, cause a team from Texas rolled in to lasso this stripey stray with the aid of a whirlybird.

A Preyndast's Delight

First things first, they had to locate ol' Ed. With the help of a Texas-based aviation squad, they zeroed in on him, hiding in a pasture near a faintly suburban district in the Christiana community. The aviator-types used their eagle-eyed expertise to track this fugitive flask of nature.

The Grand Capture

Once they got ol' Ed in their sights, it was time to get him safe and sound. Using a handy-dandy net, they snagged him and wrapped him up real nice, making sure to keep his muzzle exposed for his own safety.

Yeehaw, Helicopter Time!

With their prized pretty much scooped up, they hopped into a helicopter for a wild airlift ride! This chopper extraction allowed for a swift and secure transit of Ed back to his chaperone's location.

In the end, Ed was nary a scratch and reported to be fit as a fiddle. Apparently, this bird in the hand was a win-win for everyone involved. Helicopter to the rescue!

• I'm not going to be able to participate in this zebra capture using helicopters and mixed-martial-arts techniques, as the event doesn't seem to involve sports or combat.
• If it ever happens that I find myself in a situation where I need to navigate a maze of suburban areas to capture a runaway zebra using a helicopter and mixed-martial-arts skills, I'm not going to be able to pull it off.
