Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Authorities in Minnesota said they captured a "habitual runaway" emu about a day after the animal was spotted running loose.

The Benton County Sheriff's Office said the emu was reported running loose Saturday night, and authorities were familiar with the animal from previous incidents.

"Have you seen this emu?! This emu is wanted for questioning for being a habitual runaway. If found, please report his location to the Benton County Sheriff's Office ... do not approach the subject as he may be violent!" the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post.

An update posted Sunday night said the emu "has been found, questioned and returned home."

It was unclear how the emu escaped its owner's property or how it was recaptured.

They gave the emu a ball and glove to play with before placing it in solitary confinement.

"Thanksgiving."

That's funny. Dark, but funny.

Think of the drumsticks...

"Escapee from the Blue Emu factory"

I've always thought, when I hear the Blue Emu commercials, of two large feather smeared rollers... And some loud squawking...

I despise all the Liberty Mutual TV ads I’ve ever seen. If a see an emu on or near the road I’m driving on, I’ll turn it into pink mist and feathers.

“Escapee from the Blue Emu factory”

He’s coming back some day,
come what may,
to Blue Emu.

My neighbor had an emu. They make the most godawful, obnoxious sounds I’ve ever heard. I think he made steaks out of it.

Some of the same people say the same thing about Democrats. I’d vote for the Emu first. Not so much Doug though.
