EMUS (Dromaius Novaehollandiae)

The emu is a bird native to Australia. They are omnivores, with a diet consisting of fruits, seeds, and insects. Due to their large size and speed, they are rarely preyed upon, though they are sometimes hunted by crocodiles, wild dogs, and humans. Emus have a lifespan of 10-20 years and prefer wooded areas but not dense forests, as they like to be aware of their surroundings. An adult emu can reach a height of 2 meters, weigh between 18-60 kg, and run at a top speed of 30 mph.

The blue on their heads is quite beautiful.
