Emu spotted three months after two giant birds escaped in S.C.
Published in Weird News
(UPI) South Carolina residents reported sightings of an emu in Horry County, prompting the owner of the bird to come forward with a pair of shocking revelations: there are actually two emus, and they've been on the loose since June.
Locals in the Loris area of Horry County reported sightings of an emu wandering loose this week, and Sam Morace took to social media to claim ownership.
"For everyone that keeps seeing an emu, yes it is mine. There are two of them out," Morace wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday.
"They got loose 3 months ago. They are feral and not trained like the ones we have at the house. Local law enforcement has already been at my house, we are trying to get a tranquilizer approved so we can bring them home," she wrote.
A spokesperson for Horry County Police said law enforcement officers are working together with Morace's family to try to locate and capture the flightless Australian birds.
