An emu is a flightless BIRD Dromaius
novaehollandiae native to Australia. It
stands about 1.8m (6ft) high and has coarse
brown plumage, small rudimentary wings, short
feathers on the head and neck, and powerful
legs, well adapted for running and kicking.
The female has a curious bag or pouch in the
windpipe that enables her to emit the
characteristic loud booming note.
