A zebra broke free of its compound briefly causing chaos in Florida Friday. Because, Florida.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and local media documented the whereabouts of the rogue zebra, which at one point crashed into a pickup truck.
Police then gave chase — on the ground and from the air — to the black-and-white suspect on the lam around Tampa.
The zebra trotted across a beach.

Eventually it ended up in a backyard in Tampa.
