Escaped Zebra Captured, Airlifted After Week on the Loose
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A zebra named Ed has been captured and safely returned home in Rutherford County, Tennessee, after spending a little over a week on the run, according to a press release from the local sheriff's office. Law enforcement officers spotted Ed near a tree line off Interstate 24 in Christiana using a drone and subsequently arranged for his rescue. The zebra, owned by Taylor and Laura Ford, was then airlifted home. Why It Matters Ed's escape rapidly became a viral sensation, sparking debate online about the ethics of keeping exotic animals as pets. Zebras, however, are legal to own in Tennessee and no special permits are required to acquire one, The Tennessean reported. The animals can also be difficult to catch once they escape because of a "strong ducking reflex," according to the Environmental Literacy Council (ELC). Ed the zebra is seen being airlifted on June 8 in Rutherford County, Tennessee, after being on the run for a little over a week. Ed the zebra is seen being airlifted on June 8 in Rutherford County, Tennessee, after being on the run for a little over a week. Rutherford County Sheriff's Office via AP What To Know Ed broke free less than 24 hours after arriving from a Texas breeder at the Fords' home in Christiana, Newsweek previously reported. The zebra escaped on May 31, and was soon seen sprinting along highways and hiding in wooded regions south of Nashville, according to a Facebook post from the Rutherford County's Sheriff's Office. Numerous videos shared across social media showed close calls between motorists and Ed as he ran alongside the road. Doorbell cams also captured the zebra wandering through neighborhoods. Ed quickly became a local celebrity, with memes and artificial intelligence (AI)-generated images circulating throughout social media. Business owners and Murfreesboro residents actively took part in the phenomenon. Stuart Irby, a barber, told local News Channel 5, that "everybody's just getting a hoot out of it, here in Murfreesboro." As Ed remained elusive, Rutherford County Sheriff's deputies employed drones to monitor his whereabouts. Officials worked to minimize stress on the animal throughout the search process, the sheriff's office said. After many days of surveillance and multiple sightings in wooded and residential areas, Ed was finally located and carefully tranquilized with a veterinarian's help before being airlifted to safety. The sheriff's office repeatedly urged the public to avoid interfering with the search on social media. Celebrity Zebra Ed rescued safelyRutherford County Sheriff's Office is happy to report Tango 82 aviation crews located Zebra Ed and returned him to... What People Are Saying The Ford Family, Ed's owners, told CBS News: "Through viral posts, news coverage, and thousands of messages, he became known as Ed the Zebra. And now, he will be forever known as Ed—a symbol of joy, laughter, and unity." Local resident Kathy Dunn told local television station WSMV: "Everybody knows about the zebra, everywhere. I had a man this morning, one of the drivers, he's from out of state, and he saw it on the news." ELC said in a website about zebras: "...Zebras are more aggressive and dangerous than horses. They can bite and kick and are not typically suitable for domestication. Zebras are difficult to domesticate due to their aggressive nature, lack of a family structure, and a strong ducking reflex that prevents easy capture." What Happens Next? Authorities have returned Ed to his owners, and his health will be monitored by a veterinarian. Local officials, animal welfare advocates, and policymakers could face renewed scrutiny regarding laws that permit the private ownership of exotic animals like zebras in Tennessee.

Shock As Millennial Teacher Shares 'Artifacts' From Youth With 6th Graders
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A history teacher in Alabama left her sixth-grade class astounded with a showcase of "artifacts" from her childhood. Malinda Nichols has taught history for 10 years and always strives to bring creative flair to the classroom, whether it's crafting parachutes like the ones the "Candy Bomber" used to deliver treats during the Berlin Airlift or tracing the journey to the 1969 Woodstock Festival. "My students don't just memorize 'dates and dead people,'" Nichols told Newsweek. "They step into the shoes of the people who lived and created history through hands-on simulations, civil discourse, examining multiple perspectives, asking hard questions, creative writing, and primary source analysis." Nichols is right to take this focus. A survey of just over 1,800 people by the American Historical Association found a little over three out of every four high school students polled felt history focused on memorizing names, dates and facts. Her aim is to make it "active, relevant and deeply human." That aim was what informed her creation of the "Museum of the Millennial" for a recent sixth grade social studies class. History teacher Malinda Nichols and her Museum of the Millennial. History teacher Malinda Nichols and her Museum of the Millennial. hipsterhistorywithmrsn /Instagram It was an idea that first sparked to life last summer, during a family vacation in Colmar, France. "We visited a toy museum with a perfectly preserved 1980s childhood bedroom on display," said Nichols. By creating an exhibit that revisited the technology and pop culture of her youth, Nichols saw an opportunity to get her students thinking about history and how "their parents live it and even they are stewards of their own historical legacy." As a teacher of modern U.S. history, she often found herself during lessons on topics like the Cold War and fall of the Berlin Wall telling classes "your parents lived through this, talk to them about it." The Museum of the Millennial felt like a natural extension of this but, in order to be effective, it would require the ideal primary sources; the parents. She emailed moms and dads pitching an idea for a "reverse show and tell" where they would come in and surprise the class by presenting on the personal cultural touchstones that shaped their young lives. "The response was incredible," Nichols said. "Parents supplied every artifact you see except the orange New Kids on the Block lunchbox, that one is mine." On the day of the museum's opening, Nichols had parents hide in the hallway, while she "dialed into" AOL Instant Messenger before opening the door to reveal her guest historians: the assembled crew of parents, many of whom dressed up in clothes of the era. School kids learned about Game Boys and playing POGs. School kids learned about Game Boys and playing POGs. hipsterhistorywithmrsn /Instagram Everything was done with a focus on helping students understand the major cultural and technological shifts that shaped their parents' generation. "We raised Tamagotchi pets and felt the thrill of seeing Home Alone in a packed theater. We watched the twin towers fall in real time. We saw the rise of Blockbuster, the birth of YouTube, and the shift from landlines to cellphones. We were the ones who said goodbye to analog and hello to the digital age," Nichols said. "That's pretty historic." The response among students was a mix of excitement and shock. "I passed out questions for them to ask that aligned with my state's history standards like, 'How did you find your way before GPS' and 'Would you consider yourself a latchkey kid?," Nichols said. "They couldn't fathom how long it took for us to do things they take for granted." Parents explained how to get Nintendo cartridges to work, the best method for rewinding a cassette tape, the lengths they had to go to find out how much a baseball card was worth and what texting on a PalmPilot was like. "I even did a small group instruction on how to play POGS!" Nichols said The next day kids were allowed to pick one item from the previous lesson to research further. "The most popular were Beanie Babies, Tamagotchis, and the Furby," she said. A regular presence on TikTok and Instagram with posts shared under the handle @hipsterhistorywithmrsn, Nichols' Museum of the Millennial ended up going viral on TikTok, with a video showcasing the day's activities racking up almost 800,000 views. While the extra attention is undoubtedly motivated in part by nostalgia, Nichols hopes her efforts show the possibilities when subjects like history are taught "with purpose, creativity, and emphasizes the connection of our shared humanity." Parents showed how flip phones worked, how to rewind a tape with a pencil and the inner workings of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Parents showed how flip phones worked, how to rewind a tape with a pencil and the inner workings of the Nintendo Entertainment System. hipsterhistorywithmrsn /Instagram The Museum of the Millennial gave students a chance to compare and contrast the world of yesterday with life as we know it now. It gave Nichols the chance to do the same. "The best part was growing up without hyper-connectivity and constant access to everything. Ask any teacher, and they'll tell you that the skills built through productive struggle have left the building. Why take the time to understand an issue when an influencer, AI, or Google can just tell you?," she said. "However, growing up as a millennial also meant pioneering the internet with no parental safety controls. AOL chat rooms were our Wild West." There have been improvements though. "The internet and social media have also created space for more voices in much-needed conversations that were often dismissed when millennials were growing up," she said. Right now Nichols is the one comparing then with now, but one day, those sixth graders will be the ones fielding questions from kids asking about what 2025 was like. They will have quite a story to tell.
