Escaped Rhea bird evades capture after year on the run
An escaped Rhea bird thought to have been spotted after nearly a year on the run has evaded capture because police officers apparently could not keep up with it.
The 6ft flightless bird, called Chris, was seen by a member of the public in the Brent Pelham area of Hertfordshire at the weekend and is thought to be one of two that escaped in February last year.
Wildlife expert Chris Packham said it is no surprise the officers could not catch the bird as they can "get up to about 40mph".
