It is true that emus really are not endangered. They are under no threat whatsoever, with a conservation status of "Secure" in Australia. They are commonly found throughout mainland Australia, from coastal areas to Alpine areas, to grasslands and semi-arid areas, and even the outskirts of urban settlements. There are even emu farms, where products from the emu are commercially farmed.

Emus used to be found on the Australian island state of Tasmania, but European settlement resulted in their extinction there. Two dwarf species of emu inhabited Kangaroo Island (off the South Australian coast) and King Island (in Bass Strait) but they also became extinct.

Can you shoot emus?
No. Although emus are farmed in some places, it is illegal to shoot or harm any emus in the wild. They are native birds and therefore protected by law.
Are emus in Texas?
Yes. Not wild, of course, as they are native only to Australia, but there are ranchers/farmers who have them. Emus were imported in large numbers for emu farms during the 1980s. When the price for emus collapsed in the 1990s, many emus were released into the wild, and they have continued to grow in number.
What can you do to help the emu?
The emu is in need of little help. It ranges across most of mainland Australia, and is not declining in population. The only place where it is currently endangered is along the New South Wales coastline, in particular due to the planned upgrade of the Pacific Highway. Coastal emus are already quite rare, with the bird tending to range inland. Like all of Australia's native animals, wild emus are protected. The wild population of emus in Australia is estimated at 725,000. There are also plenty of emus both in reserves, and being farmed commercially.
What is happening to protect emus?
As native birds of Australia, the emu is a protected species in the wild. They are not in need of any further protection, as they are found in abundance through all states on the mainland, and their conservation status is "Secure" in Australia.
Do emus live in Peru?
Emus are native to Australia. Due to farming, they have been introduced to other countries such as India and the USA. There are also emu farms in Peru: whether any emus have escaped to the wild there is unknown.
Are emus Australian or Indian?
Emus are native to Australia alone. However, because farming of emus has been done in North America and parts of Asia, including India, they are also now found in the wild in those countries.
Are wild horse protected?
yes,in some part of countries wild hores are protected
What are threats to emus?
The greatest threat to emus is Man. Man degrades the environment and causes habitat loss, and introduces non-native animals such as cats, wild dogs and foxes, which attack juvenile emus. Emus can outrun dogs and dingoes, but the young emus are quite defenceless. Young emus are also subject to predation by goannas and eagles, while lizards eat emu eggs.
Is emu considered a vulnerable species?
Emus are not at all vulnerable. Whilst their wild population is believed to be declining, there are still hundreds of thousands of emus in Australia. The wild population of emus in Australia is estimated at 725,000. There are also around 250 emu farms in Australia and overseas: an estimate of how many birds there are in emu farms at any particular time has not been determined. There are also plenty of emus in reserves and sanctuaries.
Do you find emus outside of Australia?
Emus are native to Australia alone. However, due to overseas farming of emus, this bird can also be found now in the wild in some areas of North America and even India, but it is not native to these areas.
Is it legal to pick wild dahlias in Mexico or are they protected?
they are protected
How rare is an Emu?
Emus are not even remotely rare. The wild population of emus in Australia is estimated at 725,000. They are readily seen when travelling through the outback. There are also around 250 emu farms in Australia and overseas, as well as plenty of emus in reserves and sanctuaries.
