Emu on the Loose in North Jersey

A runaway emu—over five feet tall, 100+ pounds, and clocking 30 mph—is terrorizing North Jersey’s Byram and Cranberry Lake areas. First spotted Saturday, then again Tuesday on Saugtaug Trail, the bird has evaded capture thanks to its speed and lack of claims. While New Jersey lets you own an emu without a permit (classified as livestock), letting one roam is still illegal under local laws. This isn’t the first time—back in 2020, a similar emu caused chaos in Paterson before being captured in Totowa. If you spot the bird, call Byram Township Police immediately.
