It was a scene that could have been pulled straight from a Looney Tunes cartoon.
Motorists were shocked to spot an emu running alongside traffic in the coastal Israeli town of Herzliya.
Local resident Iliya Zelser caught the incident on his camera phone.
"It felt like (being in a) cartoon, (it felt like in a minute I would hear) the 'beep beep' and I said to myself in a second a coyote will appear from behind," he said.
“This was a really absurd situation.”
Local authorities said it was likely the Australian native escaped from a local farm.
It was later returned to its owners.
