Curious Emus Startle Photographer

Curious Emus Startle Photographer

A pack of emus at a farm in Washington state made one local photographer nearly drop his camera in fright yesterday.

“I wasn’t so much scared of the emus – I think they were just curious – as I was startled,” said photographer Charlie Whitmore. “The whole flock just sort of ran up to my lens without warning and started squawking.”

When asked if this was normal behavior for emus, noted emuologist and apparent jerk, would only say: “Actually, a group of emus is called a ‘mob.’”
