Israeli drivers on a highway on the outskirts of Tel Aviv were forced to dodge an emu as it sprinted alongside their vehicles on Sunday morning (January 4). The giant bird, which can sprint up to 50 kilometres per hour and can measure almost two metres in height, continued to run as the shocked drivers came to a stop at a red traffic light near a shopping mall in the Israeli city of Herzliya.
