Tennessee police released footage of their three hour chase of a zebra that was able to make an escape from an exotic animal zoo.

"I've roped a couple horses in my day," a police officer says in the video. You can also see the zebra standing away from the officers, and even jumping a fence.

In total, the chase lasted roughly 3 hours and eventually they were able to get it into a trailer.

Tennessee law states that it is legal to own a zebra in the state, and the animal is in the same category as a horse.
