Tennessee Zebra's Great Escape Ends in Daring Helicopter Rescue

A zebra's great escape in Tennessee ended with a daring helicopter rescue. A zebra escaped from its enclosure in Tennessee on May 31st, 2025, embarking on a week-long adventure across the state. The unusual situation captured the attention of local authorities and residents alike. The owner, who also keeps other exotic animals, purchased the zebra only a day before its escape. Sheriff's officers successfully located the animal and, in a scene reminiscent of a Hollywood movie, airlifted the zebra back to its enclosure using a helicopter. "It was quite a sight," stated a local resident, who witnessed the rescue. The zebra's safe return serves as a testament to the dedication of law enforcement and the happy ending to an otherwise unusual event.
