Three hours north of where a troop of monkeys escaped a lab earlier this month, two female emus named Thelma and Louise have been on the loose in South Carolina's Horry County for three months after escaping from a residential home.
"They are feral and not trained like the ones we have at the house," Sam Morace, the flightless birds' owner, wrote in a local Facebook group on Nov. 12. "Local law enforcement has already been at my house, we are trying to get a tranquilizer approved so we can bring them home. Thank you for all the concerns and questions. But if the emus were that easy to catch they would be home already."
