The Emu

The emu is an awesome creature that is the second-largest bird on Earth, hailing from Australia. This flightless wonder stands tall with long, powerful legs and a fluffy, brown-feathered body. Emus have small wings, a long neck, and beady eyes. They can run super-fast, reaching speeds up to 30 miles per hour and swim excellently too! Plus, their strong, three-toed feet can fend off any pesky predators.
