Emu on the loose in New Hampshire town

BOW, New Hampshire -- There's an emu on the loose in a New Hampshire town and police are wasting no time trying to locate the "big fella," reports CBS Boston.

"Over the last two days we have had several reports of an emu wandering around town," Bow police said in a Facebook post on Sunday.

Officials say it's not yet clear who owns the emu or where it usually lives.

"Some people have them on farms, I know they raise them for meat," a Bow Police dispatcher told WBZ NewsRadio 1030. "We've checked the farms in the area and nobody has claimed it."

A video shared by police on Facebook also shows the "elusive emu" emerging from the woods before ducking back through the brush for a stroll.

Police urge anyone with information about the big bird to get in contact with them.
