Helicopter video shows the dramatic rescue of a missing pet zebra that was found safe in Tennessee pasture after an eight-day search.

Ed escaped on May 30, just hours after arriving at his new home in Middle Tennessee. The animal jumped a fence and began a journey that took him along I-24, through suburban neighborhoods, and across rural backyards— caught on trail cameras grazing freely and frolicking in a stream, evading capture along the way.

“Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office is happy to report Tango 82 aviation crews located Zebra Ed and returned him to his owner Sunday,” authorities said in a statement posted to Facebook Sunday. Accompanying the statement was a video of Ed spinning around as he was carried by helicopter to a waiting trainer.
