MURFEESBORO, Tenn. — A missing zebra continues to elude police in a Tennessee community.

WSMV-TV reports that crews are still searching for a pet zebra reported missing by its owner Saturday morning in Rutherford County.

According to the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office, the zebra was brought to the county on Friday night.

Search teams responded to a sighting on Saturday, WSMV reports. Sheriff deputies closed part of a highway to keep vehicles from hitting the zebra.
