Emus occur in all Australian states except Tasmania. They can be found almost anywhere in the country except within urban areas, although they can be found on the outskirts of these areas.
Emus range from coastal areas, where they are becoming increasingly rarer due to developments and roads, to the sub-Alpine regions. therefore, they can take a range of temperatures from cool-temperate to hot-temperate.
They are most common in New South Wales, in open scrubland and grasslands. They are also found in areas where agriculture has overtaken the natural habitat, particularly if there is a ready water source.
They are not found in open, sandy desert areas of Australia's central west, due to lack of shelter and the insufficient food source for such a large bird. They are notfound in rainforest regions or closed forest. Unlike many of Australia's native creatures, the emu does need a ready supply of water, so emus are not found in the desert.
Emus generally find partners in summer, December-January, and breed in the winter months, May-August. If conditions are bad, such as a severe drought, emus may not breed at all, or the female may only lay a few eggs. In excellent conditions she may lay a larger than usual clutch of eggs. The large green eggs are laid gradually over several days, usually 5-9 days. The female then leaves and the male sits on the eggs for 8 weeks until they hatch. He hardly leaves the nest, and does not eat much during this time. The chicks are cream coloured, with dark stripes running from head to tail. The chicks stay with the male for about 18 months. He misses the next breeding season. The female does not stay with the eggs or chicks. Because the climate may be harsh, it takes a while for her to regain her energy so that she is ready to breed in the next season with a different male.

Nosy to the point of being annoying, emus are not at all shy around people, they actually prefer it, but their nature to examine thing with their beaks, could catch someone off guard, especially if you don't know their individual personality. Yes they all develop personalities, some quiet and reserved, other out going and gregarious.
The emu has a number of adaptations which enhance its ability to survive in Australia's many and varied climates.
In their natural state, an emu's lifestyle consists of walking and running through open grasslands and plains, pecking at anything that happens to arouse its curiosity.
The lifestyle of a farmed emu consists of walking and running through enclosures, pecking at anything that happens to arouse its curiosity.
how do leeches adapt their environment
A rainforest does not adapt to it's environment; it created the environment in which it's in.
If plants do not adapt, they do not survive in that particular environment.
How did Jamestown colonists adapt to their environment?
The desert is the environment. It does not adapt. Organisms in an ecosystem adapt to the environment.
Only living things adapt to the environment. Uluru is a natural land feature, and not alive. It does not need to adapt to the environment.
Rats adapt to their environment by pooing and sitting in it!
They PUFF UP !
can technology help people adapt environment
To survive. If an organism does not adapt it dies.
* they adapt by their legs and gills
yes we do adapt to our environment...:)
