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.
The Dwarf emu's population was wiped out during the early part of the 1800s, but it is not known when the last specimen died out. The Dwarf Emu, which was found on Kangaroo Island and islands of Bass Strait, became extinct due to hunting and fires from sealers and visiting sailors.
Like an emu but twice as tall.
There is just one species of emu, scientific name Dromaius novaehollandiae.There used to be more known breeds, but hungry sealers and whalers caused the extinction of the three island species - the King Island emu, Tasmanian emu and Dwarf emu.

As a matter of fact, three species of emu are now extinct. The King Island emu (or Black emu), Tasmanian emu and the Kangaroo Island emu (or Dwarf emu) are all extinct as a result of being hunted for food by whalers and sealers in the 19th century. The mainland emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is able to defend itself against predators, outrunning them with its high speed, endurance and exceptional ability to turn quickly.
