“Tall and majestic, the emu belongs to a gaggle of flightless operating birds referred to as ratites, probably the most primitive of the fashionable fowl households”, says the. “The ratite family includes the kiwi, ostrich, cassowary, and rhea, all birds found only in the Southern Hemisphere”. “We’ve checked the farms in the area and nobody has claimed it”. “Adult female emus are larger and heavier than the males”, said the zoo website.
