Emus have feet which are perfectly adapted to a large flightless bird. They have three toes on each foot, a characteristic of all Flightless Birds which are built for running (except for the ostrich). This is an adaptation which enables the emu to make sudden, high speed turns when running from predators. In addition, they have long, sharp claws on each toes, which can be used for protection.

What type of feet does an ostrich have?
