Fugitive Vt. Emu Dodges Wranglers For 5 Weeks
Residents of South Hero, Vt., have been watching the escapades of an elusive emu with great interest as the 150-pound flightless bird has managed to avoid capture for more than a month.

The emu is regarded as a domestic animal, so it cannot be hunted. The owner of the bird has taken out ads in the local classifieds offering to give up the emu -- and its two former companions -- for free to anyone who can catch her.
