Description

Emus are soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds with long necks and legs, and can reach up to 1.9 metres  in height. Emus can travel great distances, and when necessary can sprint at 50 km/h,  they forage for a variety of plants and insects, but have been known to go for weeks without eating. They drink infrequently, but take in copious amounts of water when the opportunity arises.
