There is only one type of emu - Dromaius novaehollandiae.
There used to be three known species. Two dwarf species of emu inhabited Kangaroo Island (off the South Australian coast) and King Island (in Bass Strait) but they became extinct once whalers began visiting and settling the area.

The wild population of emus in Australia is estimated at 725,000. However, because emus are common, there is little need to conduct regular surveys.
There has been some concern since 2002, however, that the wild emu population is on the decline.
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.
there is no set number to a mob of emus emus are often seen solitary or more in groups up to six. when food is scarce and a farmer has a full paddock of wheat then you are likely to see a full paddock of emus. i have seen them gather in the thousands on wheat paddocks.
The current population of Australian emus is estimated to be around 630,000 to 725,000. It is unknown how many emus are being farmed in other countries.
There is just one emu per emu egg.
an emu has 2 long legs!
A group of emus is called a mob
The collective nouns for emus are a mob of emus or an implausibility of emus.
Emus belong to the group of flightless birds known as ratites. They are of the order Casuariiformes, and therefore of the family Casuariidae.
People do not poach emus. Emus are farmed in many places, so they are readily available.

Baby emuA young emu is called a chick or hatchling
You need to have 2 or more emus, to make a mob!
None.
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.
As an emu has feathers and a beak, it belongs to the group 'birds'

Generally emus are solitary birds. A group of emus is called a mob (or sometimes a flock) and, while they do tend to congregate in time of drought, this behaviour is not typical.
