URBANA, Ill. (WTVO) — A missing emu in Central Illinois is still on the run.
Illinois State Police tried to catch the animal on I-74 in Urbana on Tues day, but it got away.
Experts said that it is going to be hard to catch the emu if they do not have the right resources. The bird can run as fast as 30 miles per hour, and it is in wide open space right now. The emu is believed to have been on the lam since September. Experts said that it is not surprising it has survived this long, but residents should not approach if they see it.

This could be interesting.
Maybe the emu found a job with Liberty Insurance. 🤗
Check the local car wash establishments
it’s not like it can hide under a rock. it’s been trained to eat a certain kind of food while in captivity. you can’t outsmart an emu????
Meep Meep
“An emu is on the lam!”
This choice of words stopped me in my tracks, too.
Your comment is perfect!
Yep. Get here bro. 👍
Do they taste like chicken, turkey?
They are good to eat.
A shot to the head would end the problem of it running away quickly.
No hits for “emu trap” on Amazon.
In before the Liberty Limu.
Well, it said so in the sentences above.
Just came up with the title for my new book “How to Catch an Emu and other tales from the left”
I do think gay men like emus. “An alternative method used is to catch the emu then stand behind the animal with one hand across its back providing downward pressure while the other hand is placed from the side around the bird to clutch the soft skin area between the legs and hard bare area of the breast plate.” Wiki
I have been in the Australian outback in a Range Rover that could not catch up with one of these large, flightless birds.
It is no easy thing to run down such a speedy BIG animal like this. Also, they can kick the hell out of anybody who tries to grab one.
This bird might be killed or tranquilized with a rifle but it will be no easy task to catch one or even get a good shot at it.
Was the emu wearing a yellow shirt and was he seen with a guy with a mustache and a yellow shirt? 🤓
It’s basically a dinosaur.
New hit song: Emu on the run...
I knew that hamburger I had last night had an unusual taste. Emuburgers?
There’s an emu on the road
His brain is squirmin’ like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this bird a ride
Sweet family will die
Emu on the road, yeah
My son worked on a farm with 2 of them. They made good guard animals for the chickens because they thought they were just a big chicken.
