Where are emus in Australia?

Answer 1

Yes. Emus are native to Australia. They are found throughout the Australian mainland. Emus used to be found on the Australian island-state of Tasmania, but European settlement resulted in their extinction there. Two dwarf species of emu inhabited Kangaroo Island (off the South Australian coast) and King Island (in Bass Strait) but they also became extinct.

Answer 2

Emus are native only to Australia. However, there are some places elsewhere in the world where emu farming has taken place, and as a result, wild populations of emus have occurred. India is one such place. Texas is another place, as emus were imported in large numbers for emu farms during the 1980s. When the price for emus collapsed in the 1990s, many emus were released into the wild, and they have continued to grow in number. However, they are not found in Oregon.

Answer 3

Emus occur in all Australian states except Tasmania. They can be found almost anywhere in the country except within urban areas, although they can be found on the outskirts of these areas.

Emus range from coastal areas, where they are becoming increasingly rarer due to developments and roads, to the sub-Alpine regions. Therefore, they can take a range of temperatures from cool-temperate to hot-temperate.

They are most common in New South Wales, in open scrubland and grasslands. They are also found in areas where agriculture has overtaken the natural habitat, particularly if there is a ready water source. They may also be found on the edge of wetland areas, but not within the wetlands.

They are not found in open, sandy desert areas of Australia's central west, due to lack of shelter and the insufficient food source for such a large bird. They are notfound in rainforest regions or closed forest. Unlike many of Australia's native creatures, the emu does need a ready supply of water, so emus are not found in the desert.

Emus used to be found in Tasmania, but European settlement resulted in their extinction there. Two dwarf species of emu inhabited Kangaroo Island (off the South Australian coast) and King Island (in Bass Strait) but they also became extinct, mostly due to being hunted by whalers and sailors.

Due to overseas farming of emus, this bird can also be found now in the wild in some areas of North America and even India, but it is not native to these areas.

Answer 4

The emu is a common bird in many parts of Australia. It is found in all states and territories except for the island state of Tasmania. The emu can be found almost anywhere in the country except within urban areas, although it can be found on the outskirts of rural urban areas.

Answer 5

Emus do not live in any particular shelter. As nomadic birds, they wander, sometimes sheltering under trees or cliff overhangs in extreme weather.

When incubating eggs, they build nests made up of a platform of grass on the ground, about 10cm thick and 1-2m in diameter.

Answer 6

Yes, although not native to the African continent in South Africa they have been introduced and farmed since 2010.

Answer 7

No. Emus are native to Australia. Although emu farming has seen them introduced to places such as India and the southern US, they have not yet been introduced to Brazil.

Answer 8

No. Emus are native to Australia. Although emu farming has seen them introduced to places such as India and the southern US, they have not yet been introduced to Africa.

Answer 9

Yes. Not only are emus native to Australia, but they can be seen in the outback regions, in the wild. They are also seen in almost all zoos and animal sanctuaries in Australia.

Answer 10

No
