Yes. Emus have a number of predators and enemies, but their greatest defence is their size and speed. Man remains one of the biggest threats, together with his introduced wild dogs, mostly domestic dogs gone feral. These are the only creatures in Australia that can threaten an adult emu.

However, young emus are subject to predation by dingoes, feral cats, foxes, goannas and eagles, while lizards eat emu eggs.
