An emu named MeeMoo is home safe after escaping and leading a Tennessee community on an exciting 20-mile chase.
Video footage shows the flightless, native-Australian bird being pursued by the Harriman Police Department.“We are grateful for the efforts of the Harriman Police department and all who were involved in locating MeeMoo the Emu today!” McKinney said in a follow-up post.
“He got spooked at the logging happening behind the house & jumped his 7′ fence, he then became ‘internet famous’ leading people all over the county on about a 20 mile chase, sometimes at 40mph,” McKinney added. The emu owner concluded by explaining, “They surrounded him just above downtown and I was able to get him, then with the help of a great friend we loaded him in the truck — Thanks to everyone involved he’s home safe!”
