Is an emu an amphibian

Answer 1

No, an emu is a large, flightless bird which is endemic to Australia. Like an amphibian, it is a vertebrate, but that is basically where the similarity ends. Amphibians are the frogs, newts, salamanders and the like.

Answer 2

Nope. They look a little alike, but are different animals.

Emus are shorter and have thicker necks and taste better.

Emus and ostriches are different in the following ways:

• Emus are endemic to Australia (meaning they are found exclusively in Australia), whilst ostriches are found in Africa.
• Emus have darker colouring, with dark brown, gery and black fine feathers. Ostriches have thicker and lighter plumage.
• An ostrich is bigger than an emu. An emu weighs between 66 and 99 pounds (30-45kg). An ostrich weighs about 300 pounds.
• The ostrich is faster and is, in fact, the world's fastest two-legged animal. An ostrich can sprint at 65 Kilometres per hour (40 miles per hour) and an emu can sprint at 50 kph, or 30 mph.
• Ostriches are unusual among the ratites (Flightless Birds) as they have only two toes on each foot. Emus and other ratites have three toes.
