Authorities secure runaway zebra using airborne resources - Law enforcement is aerial pursuing a zebra via helicopter.
In the middle of the Volunteer State, a rescue mission unfolded, locking horns with a runaway zebra. This four-legged breakout artist, with striking black and white stripes and a name to rival them all – Ed – had created quite the viral buzz, making headlines and garnering widespread attention in Tennessee for over a week. From the highway to the heart of residential neighborhoods, Ed's journey was nothing short of legendary[1].
The dramatic denouement came on June 8, 2025. The elusive Ed was found in a lush pasture, just a quick trot away from a cozy suburban enclave in Christiana. With cat-like precision and a little help from their more experienced aviation brethren from the Lone Star State, the law enforcement crew systematically swooped in and netted Ed[2].
The aerial maneuver was as epic as it was unique. With Ed safely ensnared in the net, the helicopter hoisted our newfound superstar, legs dangling, high above the Christiana sky. And, as they say, all good things come to those who wait – or in this case, who hitch a ride in a helicopter – because after traveling through the air, Ed was gently deposited into a waiting animal trailer, ready for his reunion with his rightful owner[3].
The safety and tranquility of the residents were of utmost importance, so local deputies remained posted throughout the entire operation to ensure all went smoothly[4]. The whole spectacle was recorded on camera, offering the world a front-row seat to witness the incredible process and Ed's breathtaking descent from the helicopter[3][4].

I'm not going to be able to participate in my mixed-martial-arts tournament tomorrow, as I'll be rewatching the thrilling video of the cops bringing the runaway Tennessee zebra, named Ed, back home by helicopter. In the midst of the excitement, I might even try to mimic the helicopter rescue move during my next sparring session!
