Emus

The emu is a large, flightless bird that is native to Australia. Its scientific name is Dromaius novaehollandiae. Emus are the second largest living bird, smaller only to ostriches. They can reach heights of up to 6.3 feet (1.9 meters) and can weigh between 66 to 132 pounds (30-60 kilograms).

Emus are omnivores and eat a variety of food, including plants, small mammals, reptiles, and insects. They have a long hind leg gemorrhagic gland which they use for marking their territory and communicating with other emus.

Emus live in a wide range of habitats, including grasslands, deserts, and forests, making them one of the most widespread birds in Australia. They are social birds that live and travel in flocks, except during mating season when they become territorial
