Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the second-largest living bird by height, after its relative ostrich. It is endemic to Australia where it is the largest native bird. They are soft-feathered, brown, flightless birds with long necks and legs. They forage for a variety of plants and insects, but have been known to go for weeks without eating. The bird is an important cultural icon of Australia, appearing on the coat of arms and various coins. It also features prominently in Indigenous Australian mythology.
