emus

Emus are large, flightless birds native to Australia, known for their impressive size—up to six feet tall—and speed, capable of running up to 30 miles per hour. They have strong legs, long necks, and soft, shaggy feathers. Emus are omnivores, feeding on plants, insects, and small animals. They are social animals, often found in groups, and are known for their curious and gentle nature. As the second-largest bird in the world, they play a vital role in their ecosystem and are also farmed for their meat, oil, and leather.
