All good things must come to an end.
Just ask Ed.
The escaped zebra had been running around Tennessee for a week before he was finally caught.
But local residents weren't exactly cowering in their homes in fear.
We joke a lot, you know, he has went viral, so...
Mandy Motes told WTVF Ed got loose from his stable and went on the run with trackers hot on his trail.
The zebra proved to be elusive.
When local resources failed to bring him in after nearly a week,
his owners reportedly called in a team from Texas to track him down,
trap him with a net, and then airlift him to safety.
The Rutherford County Sheriff's Office had been tracking and reporting sightings of Ed on social media.
They were also happy to share the video of him being flown back to his owners,
who report that he's in good health after being checked out by a vet.
No word if Ed has learned his lesson, but if he does attempt another escape,
it's probably because he wants another helicopter ride.
