Emus are large, flightless birds native to Australia and are known for their distinctive appearance and behavior.
In Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, the emu often symbolizes resilience and adaptability, reflecting the bird's ability to thrive in diverse environments. It is also associated with the creation stories, representing the connection between the land, animals, and the people. The emu's characteristics and behaviors are woven into lessons about survival, respect for nature, and the importance of community in Aboriginal culture.
