Licking County, Ohio – May 12, 2026 A story that’s anything but “just another Tuesday” has taken the internet by storm and left everyone laughing.

Viral pH๏τos and videos (including the dramatic collage circulating widely) show Zack galloping full speed between cars, his black-and-white stripes standing out in the traffic. Drivers slammed on the brakes in shock while police cruisers with flashing lights raced after the striped fugitive.
From Zack’s cheeky close-up grin to the moment deputies carefully guided him up a ramp into a trailer using ropes — every frame has gone mᴀssively viral. One woman in a nearby car was even caught on camera with her mouth wide open in disbelief as the zebra trotted right beside her.
Ohio Deputies “Earn Their Stripes” The Licking County Sheriff’s Office responded quickly after receiving reports of a loose zebra.
