Escaped Zebra Captured, Airlifted Back into Captivity

Last Saturday, we posted about Ed, a pet zebra that had escaped from his home in central Tennessee. Ed is now back in the slammer, having been captured by local law enforcement, professional animal handlers, and volunteer drone operators according to WSMV 4 News.

How did they capture the zebra? The local NBC News affiliate interviewed the owners, Taylor and Laura Ford. The couple hired professional wranglers from Texas who used an off-road vehicle and a helicopter to drive the zebra. The chopper crew then dropped a net on Ed. After subduing him, the helicopter lifted him to a trailer for transportation to a more secure facility.
