Emu, Australia's tallest bird ...
Broadcast format available at: http://www.stockshot.nl/ The Emu (dromaius novaehollandiae ) is found only in Australia. It lives throughout most of the continent, ranging from coastal regions to high in the Snowy Mountains. The main habitats are sclerophyll forest and savanna woodland. Emus were once found in Tasmania, but were exterminated soon after Europeans arrived.
Emus eat fruits, seeds, growing shoots of plants, insects, other small animals, and animal droppings. They move within their range according to climatic conditions. If sufficient food and water are present, birds will reside in one area.
The Emu is Australia's tallest native bird, reaching 1.6-1.9m when standing erect.
