What is an "emu"?

An emu is a large flightless bird native to Australia. It stands tall with a distinctive upright posture and has a long neck and strong legs. Emus have soft, shaggy feathers that are typically brown in color, providing them with effective camouflage in their natural habitat. They have small, beady eyes and a sharp beak adapted for foraging. Emus are well-known for their speed and agility, capable of running at high speeds and covering long distances. They primarily feed on a variety of plants, including fruits, seeds, grasses, and leaves. Emus are social birds and often form small groups or pairs, especially during the breeding season. The male emu takes the primary responsibility of incubating the eggs and raising the young, while the female may mate with multiple males and move on to lay more eggs. Emus have a unique vocalization consisting of deep booming sounds and low rumbling calls.
