What is A large flightless bird that looks like a ostrich related to the emu?
There is no bird that looks like an ostrich related to the emu. The ostrich (from Africa), rhea (South America) and the cassowary (northern Australia and Papua New Guinea) are all Flightless Birds in the same category of "ratites" as the emu. Ratites have wings but the bones in their chests do not have the capacity for flight muscles, which is what a bird needs to fly.
