A runaway emu that eluded police and animal control officers in Delaware for months was finally captured Thursday.
The emu, which caused at least two schools to go into a "soft lockdown" while on the loose, was finally captured, alive.
The emu, which officials believe is an escaped pet of an owner who has yet to claim it, was on the loose in Delaware for months, eluding police and animal control officers.
On Thursday, several people were able to wrangle the elusive bird. Among the group were workers from Three Palms Petting Zoo in Clayton.
The emu will get a check up at the zoo before its eventually put up for adoption.
