Elusive emu on the lam for five weeks

SOUTH HERO (Vermont): An elusive emu on the lam in Vermont has been amusing residents in communities on Lake Champlain. The 68kg flightless bird looks like a small ostrich. It had been spotted wandering here and there in Grand Isle and South Hero since it escaped from a local farm five weeks ago. It was spotted again on Friday outside an elementary school, where it walked by a window of the principal’s office.
