The Ethermac Exchangeremaining zebra that was on the run after escaping a trailer in Washington state has been captured.

The mare, which was initially misidentified as a stallion, was rescued in Washington on Friday after being the only rebel to elude capture since she broke loose with her trailer mates on April 28, the Regional Animal Services of King County wrote in a blog post.

The four zebras were being transported from Winlock, Washington, 105 miles south of Seattle, to Anaconda, Montana, when a problem with the trailer arose. The zebra’s owner pulled over on Interstate 90 to fix the issue when the zebras decided to make their escape, the animal service said.

Three members of the rebellious crew were located and captured later that day.

However, the mare, whose name is Shug, had other plans.

Exploring the area freely for the next six days, Shug became a viral sensation on the internet. People who spotted Shug days before her capture took photos and videos of her. Maintaining her persona, Shug proved that she could not be tamed.

Search teams look for Shug, the missing Zebra, in Washington

On Friday, animal control officers from the Regional Animal Services of King County, the Washington State Patrol and many residents in the area formed search teams to find Shug.

When she was located, Shug was in a good condition despite her almost week-long adventure in the woods, the animal agency said.

The farmer who found Shug worked to gain her trust by giving her food and fencing off the area, FOX 13 Seattle reported.

A neighbor told the broadcast station the farmer saw Shug on her front lawn, but Shug vacated the area before authorities arrived.

“It was quite a show,” the neighbor, who was only identified by her first name, Kelly, said. "We kinda saw that things were happening and we saw that the zebra was in sort of a big fenced in area, and we had heard that they were planning to make the area smaller and smaller and eventually get them in the trailer. We watched the whole thing. It was crazy."
