Two emus named Thelma and Louise are on the loose in South Carolina, adding to the state's ongoing search for escaped monkeys from a research facility. The emus, described as feral and untrained, escaped from their owner, Sam Morace, three months ago. Local law enforcement is assisting in their capture, and there is no current risk to the community. The emus' escape follows the recent breakout of 43 monkeys, of which 32 have been recaptured.
