Emus and ostriches are both large, long-necked, Flightless Birds with excellent vision. They belong to the same order of birds - ratites - but are not in the same family.

They are both long-endurance and powerful runners, with hugely developed hind limb extensor muscles. Their thigh bones are short and almost horizontal. Their relatively compact bodies give them a centre of gravity directly above their speeding feet, which enhances maneuverability and balance.
