How did emus get to Australia in the first place? Are they distant cousins of ostriches or did they evolve separately from ostriches? If they are related to ostriches, what is the common ancestor?
I'm 5'1, an emu is 5'7. This means an emu would trip over me while JUST leisurely strolling. I'm just a small speed bump to an emu. I hope emus have decided, AS A SPECIES, that their flight wings are not going to evolve to help them ever fly. I hope someone told them this, AS A SPECIES.

You cannot write about the emu without acknowledging the comedic brilliance of Rod Hull and Emu.
