Emus are tall (6'6"), Flightless Birds which are native to Australia. Emus lay 5-15 very large eggs at one time. Each egg has one emu in it but, when broken for cooking, it is the equivalent of about 1 dozen hen's eggs.
An emu is the second largest bird in the world, the first being the ostrich, which is also native to Australia. Neither of them is found in any other part of the world.

∙ 10y agoEmus are found all over the Australian mainland, where they are found in all of the states and both territories. The only state in which they are not found is the island state of Tasmania.
Emus range from coastal areas, where they are becoming increasingly rarer due to developments and roads, to the sub-Alpine regions. Therefore, they can take a range of temperatures from cool-temperate to hot-temperate. They are most common in New South Wales, in open scrubland and grasslands. They are also found in areas where agriculture has overtaken the natural habitat, particularly if there is a ready water source. They may also be found on the edge of wetland areas, but not within the wetlands.
They are not found in open, sandy desert areas of Australia's central west, due to lack of shelter and the insufficient food source for such a large bird. They prefer fresh food, so do not inhabit desert areas where the vegetation is largely spinifex, saltbush or bluebush.
