An emu that got away from the Danvile pen in late July. The majority of the loose emus were recaptured by the authorities in Illinois. At least three emus are still on the run as of last week according to the authorities in Danville Illinois. A resident who lives in Vermillion County captured an image one emu who was in the backyard of his home last weekend. The emu was looking at the owner of the dog that were separated by a fence so a confrontation between the flightless bird who comes from Australia and the dog would happen. By the time that the homeowner contacted 911 to report the sighting of the emu in his backyard, when the wildlife officials showed up to try to catch the emu, the emu left the neighborhood. Thank goodness no one was hurt in this incident in Illinois last weekend since the emu is harmless.
