| In the course of correspondence with an Aussie bloke, I was asked about my experiences in caring for emus. |
|
| There's hand prints, a rainbow snake, dancing and corroborees, kangaroos and emus. |
|
| That is why emus have many children but cannot fly and why bustards can fly but only have two offspring each season. |
|
| Living relatives of moa include the emus, ostrich, and kiwi, which are members of a bird group called ratites. |
|
| Large flightless birds, emus are native to Australia and are next only to the cassowary and the ostrich in size. |
|
| Lions, tigers, jaguars, giraffes, orang-utans and emus were some of the other creatures we saw. |
|
| To the kangaroos and emus of the outback, I was able to add sightings of wallabies, a wombat, and an echidna. |
|
| We began by putting up a high fence, to keep out the roos and the emus and the goats. |
|
| Maybe you would see koalas, wombats, echidnas, brush tail and ring tail possums and emus if you're lucky. |
|
| Cape Range wildlife abounds with red kangaroos and blue flyers, emus, bungerras, bustards and unique wildflowers. |
|
| One of the avian characteristics of the emus is that they also eat small stones. |
|
| Ostriches and emus are primitive birds that have more in common with dinosaurs than more advanced birds like robins, Schweitzer said. |
|
| An eternal optimist, proprietor Robert Finch has an amazing story to tell of the vicissitudes of farming emus. |
|
| Birds such as ostriches and emus have rudimentary wings but are permanently afoot. |
|
| And like modern ostriches and emus, and extinct moas and elephant birds, these ancient long-necked pinheads swallowed stones which remained in the stomach to aid in digestion. |
|
| I was wondering, for example, what would happen if someone had to destroy a flock of very expensive animals, such as emus. |
|
| The farm is home to sheep, llamas, elk, geese, emus, Tucker the lab, Velcro the six-toed cat, and a pink Cockatoo named Peaches. |
|
| The first pastoralists grazed sheep and cattle in the valleys and on slopes now filled with emus and kangaroos. |
|
| Meet hundreds of multicoloured mountain parrots in Currumbin Sanctuary and kangaroos and emus in Fleays Wildlife Park. |
|
| He's the landowner who lives down near the lake and they have a herd of emus, and I think you talked about his daughters in university? |
|
|
|
| I only met some emus, Australian ostriches, which crossed in front of my truck to great strides. |
|
| See koalas, kangaroos, emus and waterbirds roam freely at Tower Hill State Game Reserve. |
|
| The paintings depict a range of animals including crocodiles, turtles, fish, kangaroos and emus. |
|
| If people know generally that dingoes, kangaroos, emus and brumbies are likely to wander onto the road, they are aware of it and they drive accordingly. |
|
| In fact, the moa is a New Zealand species but kiwis are more closely related to emus and cassowaries in Australia, so it may be bad news for the national symbol. |
|
| Even the emus are entrancing until they fix you with their beady stares. |
|
| The emus are four months old and the sarus crane is six months old. |
|
| But because it also keeps small collections of wallabies, emus and rheas, pressure group Zoo Check says the farm should come under strict zoo regulations. |
|
| Watch kangaroos, wallabies and emus graze peacefully in the clearings and wombats scuttling across your path. |
|
| Get up close to emus, magpie geese, echidnas and waterbirds in Tower Hill State Game Reserve. |
|
| Ostriches, emus, cassowaries, rheas, kiwis, moas and elephant birds really are more closely related to each other than they are to any other birds. |
|
| You'll see emus in grasslands, sclerophyll forests and savanna woodlands all over Australia. |
|
| Birds affected by this disease are fowls, turkeys, geese, ducks, pheasants, guinea fowl and other wild and captive birds, including ratites such as ostriches, emus and rhea. |
|
| Kiwis, ostriches, rheas, emus, and cassowaries are contained within order Struthioniformes in this classification. |
|
| Birds included royal spoonbills, jaibirus, emus, brolgas honeyeaters, and glorious cockatoos, galahs, and lorikeets. |
|
| Go fishing or canoeing on Lake Bellfield and Lake Wartook and get up close to native animals such as koalas, kangaroos, emus and wedge-tailed eagles. |
|
| Isolated from other continents, Australia has an abundance of unique plant and animal life recognizable by cuddly koalas, bounding kangaroos and ungainly emus. |
|
| But the real drama awaits outside, in a landscape that's defined by red river gum trees, stalking emus and the Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre of rugged peaks that's popular for bushwalking. |
|
| Orchids and colourful wildflowers decorate your journey between March and November and you'll see emus and euros, kookaburras, corellas and galahs all year round. |
|
| And ostriches and emus, too, are bare-necked in their case to radiate away the heat generated when they run. All this avian nakedness has caught the attention of researchers, who wonder what mechanism underlies it. |
|
|
|
| The area is notable for its beaches, fern gullies, more than 700 species of plants, and a variety of animals, including emus, koalas, and wombats. |
|
| Spot rich bird life and western grey kangaroos and emus during the day. |
|
| The common ostrich shares the order Struthioniformes with the kiwis, emus, rheas, and cassowaries. |
|
| Large, generally flightless birds called ratites, which include emus, ostriches and rheas, are closely related to dinosaurs. |
|
| T Rex medullary bone is similar to that of female ratites, the group that includes ostriches and emus. |
|
| Dogs were brought from Britain in 1803 for hunting kangaroos and emus. |
|
| North Wales is also home to a number of farm parks including Greenacres Animal Park in Deeside which has llamas, emus, goats, wallabies, squirrel monkeys, snakes and birds. |
|
| If the initial results prove correct when the numbers are finalized, the number of emus in America will exceed the number of captive emu in Australia, AEA leaders stated. |
|
| Nearly a year ago, a well known city-based aviculturist told wildlife authorities that he wanted to donate a pair of Emus, captive bred in his farm house, to the park. |
|
| The 350 EMUs will be cascaded to West Midlands Trains when the Class 397 enters service. |
