new band name: fugitive emu
A fugitive emu led California Highway Patrol officers on a brief pursuit in Madera County before being taken into custody Friday.
The hairy, flightless bird — initially believed to be an ostrich — was spotted wandering on the right shoulder of the highway near Avenue 17 and was detained without injury using dog snares before animal services arrived, the CHP said. Public Information Officer Gregorio Rodriguez said it was roughly 100 degrees in Madera when the emu got loose and traffic was heavy.“Everyone was looking. You don’t know what the animal is going to do,” he said. “It could have been a lot worse.
It’s not uncommon for exotic animals to escape their homes, Rodriguez said. Last year, a pot-bellied pig led officers on a chase through a muddy orchard.
