RICHMOND - Southern Rhode Island and its rural expanses are home to a large variety of wildlife, however certain species just don’t belong.
On Tuesday, July 5, Richmond Animal Control Officer Anne Fisher had a close encounter with one of these creatures; an emu, which is a large, flightless bird indigenous to Australia. A close cousin of the Ostrich, the emu is much larger than any bird living on this part of the planet, let alone Rhode Island.
