The first report came from a 62-year-old man who encountered the bird while descending the mountain, describing it as an ostrich-like animal about 160 cm tall. Subsequent sightings confirmed it was an emu, not an ostrich. The bird has been seen near the mountain&#8217;s summit, but has not yet been captured, and no reports from its owner have surfaced. Police are urging anyone who spots the emu to contact local authorities. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=11884635&#038;ymd=2024-02-13\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KBC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_emu-in-aburayama-kbc_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Emu Sightings Stir Curiosity in Fukuoka\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-160016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_emu-in-aburayama-kbc_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_emu-in-aburayama-kbc_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_emu-in-aburayama-kbc_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/fnn_emu-in-aburayama-kbc_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
