Yes; emus need a ready supply of good drinking water, whether it be creeks, rivers or waterholes. They cannot survive in the desert.

How do emus live in the outback?

Emus need open country, so tend to live in grasslands and open bushland and heath, where they can run easily. They live wherever the food source is sufficient, and have been known to move to where rain has fallen and food is being replenished, hundreds of kilometres away.

What do emu's need for their habitat?

Emus are curious birds that like to investigate their habitat, so they need plenty of room to move. Rather than lots of trees, they need open areas so grassland and plains are their preferred habitat. They need access to clean water. Emus do need shelter of some sort, so they can both escape the summer heat and keep out of winter draughts and cold weather. Emus will shelter under stands of trees in their natural habitat.


How long can emus go without water?

Emus can survive for several days to weeks without water, depending on environmental conditions and their diet. They are adapted to arid environments and can obtain moisture from the fruits and plants they consume. However, for optimal health, they should have access to water regularly. In extreme heat or dry conditions, their need for water increases significantly.
