I Found This Emusing

A family vacationing in Big Pine Key came in from a day of sailfishing and were skunked (means they didn't catch any fish - they stink). But that didn't mean they didn't catch a prize. While barbecuing dinner outside they saw something they could not identify swimming up the canal. It was an 80 pound Emu! The poor bird was tiring and with the help of the wild bird rescue people in Marathon, they got the bird out of the water and off to the rescue facility where it is now happily munching away at cut up veggies. I would love to know how it got in the canal, and where it came from. You would think you would notice your Emu was missing...
