Best Answer

Emus average between 1.5 and 1.8 metres tall, and some have been recorded as reaching 2 m tall. They tend to average 1.3m to 1.5m at the shoulder.

An adult emu weighs between 30 and 45 kilograms (66 - 99 pounds), with the female usually slightly heavier than the male.

Although there used to be dwarf emus on southern islands (which became extinct due to them being hunted by sealers and whalers), there is now only one species of emu.
