A zebra remains on the loose after the animal escaped from its owners in Tennessee over the weekend, authorities said. 

The owners “obtained” the zebra on Friday night and reported it missing on Saturday, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said. 

However, the distinct black-and-white-striped animal escaped into a wooded area off Interstate 24, where it was “wreaking havoc,” between Joe B. Jackson Parkway and the Epps Mill Road exits on Saturday afternoon, the sheriff’s office said. 

At the time, the zebra caused chaos on the freeway because it was running through traffic on both sides of the highway, authorities said.

The sheriff’s office didn’t say how or where the owners got the zebra, or where it was being housed at the time of its escape.
