HORRY COUNTY, S.C. ( WMBF /Gray News) – More than a week after 43 monkeys escaped a South Carolina compound that breeds the primates for medical research, residents in the state are on the lookout for someone’s pet emus. Artie Morace, 71, said two of his three emus got loose during two incidents earlier this year in June.

There was animal mayhem in South Carolina as two emus went on the loose – while eight escaped monkeys were already at large. Reports of two large emus running riot in the city of Loris, in Horry County, SC, followed an incident last week when 43 monkeys escaped an Alpha Genesis facility in Beaufort County, SC, the Yemassee Police Department said.

A pair of emus are on the loose in northern Horry County, three months after breaking free of their enclosure, police and the bird’s owner said. “For everyone that keeps seeing an emu, yes it is mine.
