Dwarf emus no longer exist. 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.
