“No two days are the same\u2014” that’s what one California sheriff’s office said after video showed deputies’ pursuit of an emu that decided to run away from its owner. <\/p>\n

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office posted video<\/a> of officials trying to lead the two-legged friend from the road with treats. The department said it attempted to keep the emu out of traffic as they waited for its “owner to come get it.” <\/p>\n

Authorities later posted a photo of the emu posing with police and its owner. <\/p>\n

In a post on Facebook, the sheriff’s office said this incident is different from another that occurred, saying, “Different bird, same agenda: wreak havoc.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“No two days are the same\u2014” that’s what one California sheriff’s office said after video showed deputies’ pursuit…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,184931,167,193911,2821,184932,346,1831,236,5767,2592,14310,1498,193912,69059,193913,5050,133544],"class_list":["post-500210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-csnd","tag-deputy","tag-emu","tag-facebook","tag-nd","tag-office","tag-owner","tag-police","tag-post","tag-pursuit","tag-road","tag-santa-cruz","tag-santa-cruz-county-sheriff","tag-treat","tag-two-legged-friend","tag-video","tag-wjcl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
