the emu

Were you right? ....

The emu is the largest bird in Australia, and the second largest in the world after the ostrich. Emus have long necks, sharp beaks and small ears. They have two sets of eyelids, one for blinking and one to keep out the dust. Their feet are long, with three toes. One toe on each foot has a long talon, for fighting.

Emu feathers are soft and light-brown with dark tips. They can grow to between 1.5 – 2 metres in height and weigh up to 60 kg. Males are slightly smaller than females. Males make a grunting sound like a pig and females make a loud booming sound.

Emus are found only in Australia. They live in most of the less-populated areas of the continent and although they can survive in most regions, they avoid dense forest and severe desert. They have been living in Australia for a very long time. Originally there were three species of emu, but now there is only one.
