Being large and fast, emus do not need to defend themselves very often. Apart from man, there are no natural predators of adult emus in Australia.
Emus can deliver a powerful kick, and they have long, sharp claws on their toes.
Furthermore, emus possess a unique defence capability, which would aid them if they were in the position of having to outrun a superior predator. When running at top speed, the physiological structure of their feet enables them to make sudden 180-degree turns which not even a small cat can do: by the time a bigger creature slowed enough to make the turn, the emu would be 50-60 metres ahead in the opposite direction.

As a matter of fact, three species of emu are now extinct. The King Island emu (or Black emu), Tasmanian emu and the Kangaroo Island emu (or Dwarf emu) are all extinct as a result of being hunted for food by whalers and sealers in the 19th century.
