How ostrich escape its predators?

Answer 1

Emus possess a unique defence capability, which would aid them if they were in the position of having to outrun a large predator. When running at top speed, the physiological structure of their feet enables them to make sudden 180-degree turns which not even a small cat can do: by the time a bigger creature slowed enough to make the turn, the emu would be 50-60 metres ahead in the opposite direction.

Another protection mechanism is their sharp claws. Emus have long, sharp claws on each toes, which can be used in defence against a would-be predator such as a dingo.

Answer 2

Emus are large birds, and there are really no natural predators in Australia. A dingo, for example, will not take on a mature bird. Young emus are subject to predation by a number of introduced species such as foxes and dogs, as well as native species such as eagles and even goannas. Fortunately, they have unique colouring which offers good camouflage.

Emus are very fast runners, but there's more to it than that. Emus possess a unique defence capability, which would aid them if they were in the position of having to outrun a superior predator. When running at top speed, the physiological structure of their feet enables them to make sudden 180-degree turns which not even a small cat can do: by the time a bigger creature slowed enough to make the turn, the emu would be 50-60 metres ahead in the opposite direction.

Answer 3

Just like all large birds do, they kick and its not only the force that hurts, its the claws. Also its break. Emus are very fast though and can juke(make a really sharp turn) better than cats.

Answer 4

Hiding or only coming out at night like the Kiwi bird in New Zealand.

Answer 5

by running
