There’s An Emu On The Loose In Lenoir!
An emu escaped from its home in North Carolina and traveled 30 miles before police were able to catch it.
According to a Facebook post by the City of Lenoir, a female emu escaped and traveled several miles away from home before showing up on Eastwood Park Drive Southeast in Lenoir on Saturday, April 30th. The emu’s name is Kevin. Kevin reportedly approached a father with his children and even laid down next to the group while he called the police.

Until they could locate her owners, Kevin was placed into the care of the Caldwell County Animal Care Enforcement Division. When they located the owners, they found out that they live more than 30 miles away in Moravian Falls. Turns out that the emu had been missing for over a month after she was scared by a neighbor’s dog.
The owners plan to build a bigger fence at home to help keep her safe and contained to try and avoid this from happening again!
