The police of the city of Harriman, Tennessee, had to chase a domestic emu that had escaped from its owner for several hours, writes the “MIR 24” portal.According to its owner, the bird was frightened by the noise from the construction work that took place next to the house, easily jumped over a two-meter fence and rushed to run aimlessly.
The owner of the ostrich immediately posted an ad on social networks and immediately began to receive messages that the bird was seen in various places that he ran past.
The local police went in pursuit of the ostrich. At first, he moved at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, but, noticing the persecution, accelerated to 64 km / h. The ostrich was caught 30 kilometers from home.
It is noteworthy that almost immediately after returning home, the ostrich ran away again, but was quickly put back. The owner of the emu was forced to increase the fence to almost 3 meters, in the hope that such a height would be too high for the ostrich.
