Police in Horry County, South Carolina, said this week that they are searching for two missing emus that have been evading capture for months: "We are not emu-sed."

Two 'feral' emus escaped from their owner and are 'on the loose' in Horry County, S.C., according to reports. Local authorities said the flightless birds do not pose a risk to the community.

First, monkeys escape a research facility; now, emus are on the run in South Carolina. On Wednesday, Horry County officials announced that two emus escaped from their owner after social media posts started circulating.
