The response team said two emus got loose on Tuesday in Reels Corner. Crews said they located the animals quickly, but "containing them proved far more complicated."

With help from the Central City Fire Department, the team captured one of the emus, but they ran out of daylight before getting the second one.

"We are hoping it will find its own way home if it hears its buddy calling it," the Somerset County Animal Response Team said in a Facebook post.

If you see the lost emu, call 814-445-1525 to report it.

UPDATE 12/30/21: BOTH EMUS ARE HOME! Friends of the owner were able to capture the second one today. We are very happy...
