In an unusual and chaotic incident, an emu was spotted wandering along a highway in Vigo County, Indiana, for several days, causing concern among local residents and motorists. The large, flightless bird, native to Australia, had somehow found its way onto the road and was seen by multiple drivers who reported the sighting to authorities.
The emu, which stands nearly six feet tall and can run at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour, proved difficult to capture. Local sheriff’s deputies, with the assistance of a state trooper, responded to the situation and worked tirelessly over several days to ensure the bird’s safety and prevent any potential accidents.
After several attempts, the emu was finally cornered and safely captured. The bird was then transported to a local animal shelter where it was checked for injuries and provided with food and water. Officials are still trying to determine how the emu ended up near the highway, as it is not a native species to the area.
The incident has since gone viral, with many people expressing their surprise at the sight of an emu roaming free on an Indiana highway. The emu’s unexpected adventure has certainly provided some excitement and a lot of laughs for the local community.
