Emu takes tour of bike path near Atlantic Farm

WALL TOWNSHIP — Early on Tuesday morning, Bert the emu decided to see the sights around the Atlantic Farm Market and could be seen strolling along the bike path located on Atlantic Avenue, fascinating bikers along the way.

Farm employees told The Coast Star that while it is unclear exactly how he escaped, he is believed to have jumped over several fences. He was returned safely to the farm later that morning and can be visited along with many other animals any day of the week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
