JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission joined forces to capture a wild emu.
The emu was running loose around Cassie Road before it was captured shortly before 2 p.m.
According to the Jacksonville Zoo, emus are one of the largest living birds on Earth, second only to the Ostrich. Emus can grow to be over 6 feet in height, and can weigh over 100 pounds.

You might find this eggciting, but we are not emused. Do we need to start a #7AMRoutine to remind you to secure your farm animals?
Shout out to @MyFWC for assisting us today! #teamwork https://t.co/WHlv83h8zW
