Surprised locals posted photos and videos of the wandering equine to social media.

Zoo officials and firefighters pursued the zebra for about 3 hours before they were able to corner the animal and administer a tranquilizer.

The zebra was safely returned to the zoo just after 6 p.m., officials said.

A zoo representative said an investigation has been opened into the escape.

No injuries or property damage were reported from the zebra's time on the loose.
