And a third showed it wandering through a residential area, as reported by What’s The Jam.
According to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee, US, the owners “obtained” the zebra on Friday night (30 May) and reported it missing on Saturday (31 May).
The striped animal had escaped into a wooded area off a main road, where it was “wreaking havoc”.
An Instagram post shared the clips online, with the caption: “A pet zebra has caused quite a stir in Rutherford County, Tennessee, when it escaped and ran loose along Interstate 24 near Joe B. Jackson Parkway.
“The zebra was seen weaving through traffic, prompting authorities to temporarily shut down the interstate to ensure safety.
