Escaped Emus and Monkeys Cause Stir in South Carolina

Two emus and several monkeys remain at large, prompting efforts by local authorities and owners to recapture the exotic animals.

Two emus named Thelma and Louise have been on the run in Horry County, South Carolina, for three months after escaping from their owner's property.
The emus are not considered a threat to the community, and efforts are underway to tranquilize and safely return them home.
The escape of the emus follows a separate incident where 43 monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility in Yemassee, South Carolina.
As of now, 32 of the 43 escaped monkeys have been recaptured, with local authorities continuing the search for the remaining eight.
Both incidents have drawn significant public attention, with local law enforcement using social media to update and engage with the community.
