E is for Emu

Emus are the largest birds in Australia and are the second largest birds (in relation to height) in the world, second to the ostrich.

Emus are unable to fly but are able to run very quickly, are nomadic and are known to cover long distances in search of food.

They are very curious birds and will watch other animals and humans (I've even had one steal my lunch when on a picnic!).

The emu is on the Australian coat of arms and is a cultural icon and plays an important role in Aboriginal mythology.
